Fda Consumer Update - LG K7 Start Manual

• Do not paint your phone.
• The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use, repair of the phone, or
upgrade of the software. Please backup your important phone numbers. (Ringtones, text
messages, voice messages, pictures, and videos could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not
liable for damage due to the loss of data.
• When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so you don't disturb
others.

• Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked
away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in standby 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 the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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 devices. However,
the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency
(RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the 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.
