of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the
phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between
the user's body and the back of the phone. Any belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories
that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between
the user's body and the back of the phone and have not been
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
Consumer Information About Radio
Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and
receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The
following consumer information addresses commonly asked
questions about the health effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio
frequency ("RF") energy has been conducted worldwide for
many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") and the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") set policies and procedures for wireless
phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states, "The scientific
community at large ... believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend
conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field. You can
access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov
(under "c"in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research).
You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or
(888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a
cooperative research and development agreement through
which additional scientific research is being conducted. The
FCC issued its own website publication stating that "there is
no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone usage
