Avoid Potential Hearing Loss

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the

use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sounds, the device, the device setting and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:

  • Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
  • When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
  • Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surrounding. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphone to block out background environmental noise.
  • Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increase, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
  • Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as music concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
  • Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable

audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Children's Safety

This device is packaged with small parts that can, if swallowed by children, cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death. This device also contains an internal battery that can be hazardous if the device is not used or maintained properly. Keep this device and its accessories away from small children.

Proper Device Disposal

This device and its battery should be recycled to avoid harm to the environment. Disposal of your device and the battery inside should be in accordance with all applicable laws. It may be prohibited by law to dispose of this device and its battery with your household trash. Never dispose of your battery in a fire or with other hazardous or flammable materials.

FCC Radio Frequency (RF) Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0 inch (0 cm) from the body.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could impair RF quality, damage the device, void your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations. Don't use the device 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 device, 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 devices.

Are wireless devices safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices 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

devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to cell device 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 devices 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 Devices > 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 device 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/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does "SAR" mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or "SAR." SAR is a measure of the

rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.05 W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID BEJV909. For more information about SARs, see the FCC's OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/

Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your device.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your use time. You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that "hands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. On the other hand, if the device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless devices marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit."

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that "the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children." The FDA/FCC website further states that "some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all". For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom ["UK"] made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a

group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. The UK's recommendation to limit cell device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UK's leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search "mobile"), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK's annual reports on mobile devices and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search "mobile"). Parents who wish to reduce their children's RF exposure may choose to restrict their children's wireless device use.

RF Interference

Electronic Devices. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device.

Pacemakers. The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless device 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.

Persons with pacemakers:

  • Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the device is turned ON;
    • Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
  • Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
  • Should turn the device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids. Some digital wireless devices 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 manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities. Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities. Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft. FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Switch OFF your device before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas. To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Contact With Magnetic Items.

Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, device card, bank book or subway ticket near your device. The magnetism of the device may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
