For Your Safety
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the
antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or violate FCC
regulations.
Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could cause a minor skin
burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
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 can lead to
cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This
publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ cellular.html or through the FCC at (888)
225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
