Welcome  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nokia 2115i mobile phone. Your phone  
provides many functions which are practical for daily use, such as a hands-free  
speakerphone, alarm clock, calculator, calendar, and more. To personalize your  
phone, you can set your favorite ringtones and select an Xpress-onTM color cover.  
About your phone  
The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use on CDMA 1900  
networks. Contact Virgin Mobile for more information about networks.  
When using this phone, or any of its features, obey all laws and respect privacy  
and legitimate rights of others.  
Warning: To use any features in this phone, other than the alarm clock,  
the phone must be switched on. Do not switch the phone on when  
wireless phone use may cause interference or danger.  
Network Services  
To use the phone you must have service from Virgin Mobile. Many of the phone’s  
features depend on your service provider’s network to function. These Network  
Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to make specific  
arrangements with Virgin Mobile before you can utilize Network Services. Virgin  
Mobile may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain  
what charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how  
you can use network services. For instance, some networks may not support all  
language-dependent characters and services.  
Shared memory  
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text messages,  
ringtones, calendar, and games. Use of one or more of these features may reduce  
the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. Your phone  
may display a message that the memory is full when you try to use a shared  
memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in  
the shared memory features before continuing. Some features, such as messages  
and ringtones, may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them  
in addition to the memory shared with other features.

Predictive text input  
Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and  
the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode method,  
because the phone guesses the words as you type them.

with predictive text on, press each of the following displayed number keys once.

You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it.  
Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags and use them  
in a quiet environment.  
Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid similar names  
for different numbers.

14. Battery information  
This section provides information about batteries, chargers, safety guidelines and  
technical information. Be aware that the information in this section is subject to  
change as batteries and chargers change.  
Charging and discharging batteries  
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new  
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.  
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will  
eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter  
than normal, replace the battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and  
recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this  
phone.  
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the phone when not in use. Do  
not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may  
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over  
time.  
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery  
that is damaged.  
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a  
metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the  
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips  
on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery  
in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery  
or the connecting object.  
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or  
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery and its  
ability to charge. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and  
25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when  
the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in  
temperatures well below freezing.  
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as they may explode. Batteries may also  
explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please  
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

B a t t e r y i n f o r m a t i o n  
Nokia battery authentication guidelines  
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that you are getting  
an original Nokia battery, purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for  
the Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the packaging and inspect the  
hologram label using the following steps:  
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total assurance of the  
authenticity of the battery. If you have any reason to believe that your battery is  
not an authentic original Nokia battery, you should refrain from using it and take  
it to the nearest authorized Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. Your  
authorized Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the battery for authenticity.  
If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.  
Authenticate hologram  
1. When looking at the hologram label, you should see  
the Nokia connecting hands symbol from one angle  
and the Nokia Original Enhancements logo when  
looking from another angle.  
2. When you angle the hologram to the left, right,  
down, and up sides of the logo, you should see 1, 2,  
3, and 4 dots on each side respectively.  
3. Scratch the side of the label to reveal a 20-digit  
code, for example, 12345678919876543210. Turn  
the battery so that the numbers are facing upwards.  
The 20-digit code reads starting from the number at  
the top row followed by the bottom row.  
4. Confirm that the 20-digit code is valid by following  
the instructions at www.nokia.com/batterycheck.  
75  
 
 
B a t t e r y i n f o r m a t i o n  
What if your battery is not authentic?  
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the hologram label is an  
authentic Nokia battery, please do not use the battery. Take it to the nearest  
authorized Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that  
is not approved by the manufacturer may be dangerous and may result in poor  
performance and damage to your phone and its enhancements. It may also  
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone.  
To find out more about original Nokia batteries visit www.nokia.com/battery.  
Charging times  
The following charging times are approximate with the BL-6C 1070 mAh Li-Ion  
battery:  
Travel Charger (ACP-12): up to 1 hour 45 minutes  
Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7): up to 3 hours 45 minutes  
Talk and standby times  
Operation times are estimates only and depend on signal strength, network  
conditions, user habits (phone use, features used, and number of idle hand-off),  
battery age and condition (including charging habits), temperatures to which the  
battery is exposed, and many other factors.  
Talk time: 3.7 up to 4.6 hours  
Standby time: 139 up to 212 hours

C a r e a n d m a i n t e n a n c e  
Care and maintenance  
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be  
treated with care. The suggestions below help you to protect your warranty  
coverage.  
Keep the phone and all of its parts and accessories out of the reach of small  
children.  
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or  
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your  
phone does get wet, remove the battery and allow the phone to dry  
completely before replacing it.  
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and  
electronic components can be damaged.  
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of  
electronic phones, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.  
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone returns to its normal  
temperature, moisture can form inside the phone and damage electronic  
circuit boards.  
Do not attempt to open the phone other than as instructed in this guide.  
Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal  
circuit boards and fine mechanics.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean  
the phone.  
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper  
operation.  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate regulations governing radio phones.  
Use chargers indoors.  
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger, or any  
enhancement. If any phone is not working properly, take it to the nearest  
authorized service facility for service.  
Note: Before sending your phone to a service facility, create a backup of  
data you want to keep such as contacts and calendar notes.

Additional safety information  
Operating environment  
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always  
switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause  
interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This  
device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position  
against the ear or when positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from the body.  
When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should  
not contain metal and should position the device at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away  
from your body.  
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality  
connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages  
may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation  
distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed..  
Medical devices  
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may  
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.  
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if  
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any  
questions. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations  
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may  
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
PACEMAKERS  
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches  
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid  
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are  
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless  
Technology Research. To minimize the potential for interference, persons with  
pacemakers should  
Always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker  
when the phone is switched on  
Not carry the phone in a breast pocket  
Hold the phone to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential  
for interference  
78  
 
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off  
your phone immediately.  
HEARING AIDS  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. If  
interference occurs, consult your service provider.  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic  
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic  
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag  
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative  
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.  
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a  
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any  
warranty that may apply to the phone. Check regularly that all wireless phone  
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or  
carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment  
as the phone, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag,  
remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,  
including installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or  
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly  
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
Potentially explosive environments  
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere  
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include  
areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.  
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or  
even death. Switch off the phone at refueling points such as near gas pumps at  
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel  
depots, storage, and distribution areas, chemical plants or where blasting  
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often but not always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical  
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as  
propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust or metal powders.  
79  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. The use of  
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the  
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of  
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.  
Emergency calls  
Important: Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio  
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed  
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be  
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless phone for  
essential communications like medical emergencies.  
To make an emergency call, do the following:  
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.  
2. Press End as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the phone  
for calls.  
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency  
numbers vary by location.  
4. Press Call.  
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before  
you can make an emergency call. If the phone is in an offline or flight mode, you  
must change the profile to activate the phone function before you can make an  
emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When making an  
emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Your  
wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an  
accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.  
Certification Information (SAR)  
THE NOKIA 2115i DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR  
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)  
energy recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits establish  
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based  
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations  
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards and  
guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of  
80  
 
   
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
the public, regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in  
measurements.  
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known  
as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international  
guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests  
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device  
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The  
actual SAR level of an operating device can be well below the maximum value  
because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the  
network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how  
close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value when tested  
according to international testing procedures for use at the ear for device type  
RH-66 is 0.75 W/kg. Your phone’s device type is listed on the label located under  
the battery.  
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements  
and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in  
different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under product  
information at www.nokia.com.  
USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA (FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg  
averaged over one gram of tissue. Device type RH-66 has also been tested  
against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during  
product certification for use at the ear is 1.20 W/kg and when properly worn on  
the body is 1.03 W/kg. Information about this device can be found on the FCC's  
website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the equipment  
authorization system using FCC ID: QMNRH-66.

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.  
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use  
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique  
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless  
telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to  
communicate by voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client,  
with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year,  
Americans make billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are  
rapidly growing.  
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every  
wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first  
responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment  
must be exercised at all times while driving a motor vehicle—whether on the  
phone or not.  
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness,  
caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense—keep your  
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out  
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying  
within the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to  
do the same.

But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a  
call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when  
behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch,  
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to  
help others in need.  
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.  
Wireless Phone “Safety Tips”  
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which  
should be easy to remember.  
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as 1-touch dialing and  
redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of  
valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory.  
Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the 1-touch dialing  
function without taking your attention off the road.  
2. When available, use a hands-free phone. A number of hands-free wireless  
phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an  
installed mounted phone for your wireless phone or a speaker phone  
accessory, take advantage of these phones if available to you.  
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your  
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without  
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an  
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let  
the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend  
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow  
and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first  
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.  
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading  
an address book or business card, or writing a “to do” list while driving a car,  
you are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get  
caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not  
paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.  
89  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin  
your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a  
stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while  
driving, follow this simple tip—dial only a few numbers, check the road and  
your mirrors, then continue.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be  
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix—  
they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a  
car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary,  
suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from  
the road.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the  
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous  
situations—with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away.  
Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic  
accident, road hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on  
your wireless phone!  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone  
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your  
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious  
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency  
number, as you would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance  
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may  
require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency  
services. But you still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a  
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a  
minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to  
be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless  
number.  
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a  
hazard to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications  
Industry Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational  
outreach to inform wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers  
90  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
and good citizens. As we approach a new century, more and more of us will take  
advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads,  
we all have a responsibility to drive safely.  
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

Administration) to all users

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones  
U.S. Food and Drug Administration  
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that  
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of  
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They  
also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high  
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low  
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse  
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any  
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects  
may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.  
In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those  
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.  
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless  
phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does  
with new drugs or medical phones. However, the agency has authority to take  
92  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a  
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the  
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to  
repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,  
FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,  
including the following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type  
emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the  
user that is not necessary for phone function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible  
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that  
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated  
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working  
group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United  
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC  
relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless  
phones. FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone  
networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than  
do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from  
these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they  
93  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the  
safety questions discussed in this document.  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-  
in antennas, often called cell mobile or PCS phones. These types of wireless  
phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These  
RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety  
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal  
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances  
from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF  
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-  
called cordless phones; which have a base unit connected to the telephone  
wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus  
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.  
4. What are the results of the research done already?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies  
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments  
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures  
characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often  
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have  
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in  
laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased  
tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or  
treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop  
cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to  
RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the  
conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with  
certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or  
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other  
94  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful  
health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the  
studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average  
period of phone use in these studies was around three years.  
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure  
from wireless phones poses a health risk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people  
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are  
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years.  
However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable  
proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can  
provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more  
years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health  
effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of  
exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop — if they do  
— may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is  
hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day  
use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the  
angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.  
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible  
health effects of wireless phone RF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are  
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in  
1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a  
detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new  
research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a  
series of public information documents on EMF issues.  
95  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have  
a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do  
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,  
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic  
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to  
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory  
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a  
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest  
research developments around the world.  
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy  
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency  
energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these guidelines in consultation with  
FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF  
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)  
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the  
safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and  
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s ability  
to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone  
and is set well below levels known to have effects.  
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each  
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/  
rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your  
phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.  
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy  
coming from wireless phones?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a  
technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure  
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and  
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, Recommended  
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in  
96  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental  
Techniques, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring  
the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The  
test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized  
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of  
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the  
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole  
body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of  
matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone  
complies with safety guidelines.  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to  
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know that  
there is—it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding  
even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your  
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how  
much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a  
wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you  
could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since  
the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you  
could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use  
a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are  
harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products,  
you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure  
from wireless phone use.  
10.What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure  
to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless  
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source  
97  
 
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n  
will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national  
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless  
phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed  
leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted  
that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or  
other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children  
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any  
health hazard exists.  
11.What about wireless phone interference with medical  
equipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some  
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method  
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is  
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of  
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,  
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late  
2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has  
tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and  
helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical  
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and  
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no  
interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a  
accompanied hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by  
the IEEE in 2000.FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for  
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference  
be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and  
work to resolve the problem.
