Nokia Lumia 822: Safety and Warranty
for nearly any scientifi c measurement, there is a possibility that the test
measurement may be less than or greater than the actual RF emitted
by the phone. This diff erence between the RF test measurement and
actual RF emission is because test measurements are limited by instru-
ment accuracy, because test measurement and actual use environ-
ments are diff erent, and other variable factors. This inherent variability
is known as "measurement uncertainty." When FCC conducts post-
grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any measurement
uncertainty to determine whether regulatory action is appropriate. This
approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it will have a
sound, defensible scientifi c basis.
FDA scientifi c staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure
cell phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current
understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions.
RF emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a
risk of injury to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety
limits set by FCC (an SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maxi-
mum measurement uncertainty permitted by current measurement
standards was added to the maximum permissible SAR, the resulting
SAR value would be well below any level known to produce an acute ef-
fect. Consequently, FCC's approach with measurement uncertainty will
not result in consumers being exposed to any known risk from the RF
emitted by cellular telephones.
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning
acute eff ects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic eff ects of long-
term exposure to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a
cell phone for many years). If new information leads FDA to believe that
a change to FCC's measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will
contact FCC and both agencies will work together to develop a mutually
acceptable approach. Updated July 29, 2003

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use While
Driving
Wireless devices give consumers the freedom to stay connected with
family and friends, to conduct business and to have fun virtually any-
time, anywhere. But, when it comes to using wireless phones behind
the wheel, it's important to remember that safety always comes fi rst.
Drivers face many distractions in the car – from eating and drinking to
playing music or talking with other passengers. The wireless industry
has worked closely with the public safety community, to help educate
drivers on the range of distractions they face behind the wheel as well
as when it is appropriate to place or receive a wireless phone call. Edu-
cational eff orts that provide practical and sound advice, rather than
legislation, are the best methods to truly aff ect driver behavior in a
positive way.
Through industry-sponsored public service announcements and out-
reach, drivers are reminded to, before reaching for the phone while
driving, ask themselves, "Is this call necessary?" If it is necessary to use
a wireless phone while driving, the wireless industry encourages drivers
to follow some basic do's and don'ts to ensure that a wireless phone
doesn't become a distraction.
Your wireless phone can be your best traveling partner – off ering a life-
line in emergencies, helping to locate directions and keeping you con-
nected with family and friends when necessary. In fact, wireless phones
are one of the best safety tools drivers can have on the road. Every day,
more than 200,000 calls are made from wireless phones to 911 or other
emergency services. That's about 140 calls every minute. More Ameri-
cans are using their wireless phones to report emergencies, to prevent
crimes, and even to save lives.
But safety should be every driver's top priority. That means making
good judgment calls about when it's appropriate to use your wireless
phone. It also means keeping your eyes on the road and being cautious
and courteous of other drivers. Every state has hazardous or inatten-
tive riving laws to discourage distracted driving – no matter what the
