    Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the BC- 9500 belt-clip and LB-9500 holster models, offered by Audiovox as an accessory to this phone, and found to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should be avoided, as they have not been tested and may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits.
  • Page 121 Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently: • Extend your antenna fully. • Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
  • Page 122 Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider [or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives]. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac- turer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.

    U.S. Food and Drug Administration Cell Phone Facts Consumer Information on Wireless Phones 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 wire- less phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.

The following agencies belong to this working group: • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health •...
  • Page 130 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).
  • Page 131 Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work? Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks.
  • Page 132 These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wire- less 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 acous- tic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
