How wireless works Your wireless service is different from your home or business phone service. On a wireless device, you must press the SEND button to alert the network to connect your call. Unlike the calls you make on a home or business phone, wireless communications travel over the air and can react to the environment. Rain, snow, fog, falling leaves, water, mountains, canyons and even buildings may affect service. All wireless service is subject to dead zones, or no-coverage areas. Verizon Wireless network technology Verizon Wireless offers CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital network technology to most of its customers. CDMA digital technology offers many benefits compared to analog, such as less static, enhanced voice clarity, increased privacy and longer battery life. A CDMA digital phone is necessary to subscribe to our digital service. Verizon Wireless only sells digital wireless devices that are E911 compatible and either all-digital or tri-mode, which means you may use analog or CDMA digital services on different frequencies.

The following consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless devices. MORE INFORMATION 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 phone usage where it states, The scientific community at large believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association

between exposure to radio frequency (RF) from cell phones 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 FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/ cellphones. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC issued its own website publication stating that [t] here is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless telephone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss. This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ consumerfacts/mobilephone.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states that concerns about the potential health effects of using cellular phones and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase a persons risk of developing brain cancer are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject.

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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 wireless 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 MORE INFORMATION 113

For more information about SARs, see the FCCs OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/ Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins, www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless 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 talk 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 [h]ands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is a source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. MORE INFORMATION 114
Wireless phones 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. Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless device with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless device manufacturers instructions for the safe operation of your wireless device. Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children? The FDA website states that [t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers. The FDA website further states that [s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones 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 MORE INFORMATION 115

phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UKs] recommendation to limit cell phone use by childrenwas strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UKs leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search mobile), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, United Kingdom. Copies of UKs annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at http://www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search mobile). Parents who wish to reduce their childrens RF exposure may choose to restrict their childrens wireless device use. Where can I obtain further information?

Persons who have such devices: Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON; Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket; Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference; Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
More Information
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health care provider. For additional information, see www.fda.gov/ cellphones/. Caution: 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 and cellular telephones, 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 noiseinduced 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 sound, the device, the device settings, 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 surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noisecancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise. Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
More Information
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock 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.

research indicates that using a wireless phone while driving degrades a drivers performance, whether it is a hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA advises that the safest course of action is to refrain from using a cell phone while driving. NHTSAs policy on Cell Phone Use While Driving, as well as Frequently Asked Questions on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on Traffic Safety then on Drowsy and Distracted Driving). For your well being and the well being of those around you, you should consider turning your phone off and allowing calls to go to Voice Mail while you are driving. If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving, several jurisdictions have adopted hands-free and other restrictions on the use of wireless devices while driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law in your area.
