Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result since air bags inflate with great force.
Page 45 Use only Coolpad-approved chargers specific to your phone model as they are designed to maximize battery life. Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
Page 46 Talking on the phone for long periods of time may reduce call quality due to heat generation. Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, immediately turn the phone OFF and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it to a Coolpad Authorized Service Center. Do not paint your phone.

Page 51 heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects results in no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not uncovered any biological effects. Although some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
Page 52 term exposures since the average period of phone use in these studies was approximately three years. 4. What kinds of phones are the subjects of this update? Here the term “wireless phone” refers to handheld wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
Page 53 The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to conduct research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with independent investigators.
Page 54 The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of...
Page 55 and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone, so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
Page 56 must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone on a daily basis, consider placing more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary; suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic.
Page 59 Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary.
Page 60: Consumer Information On Sar
Consumer information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Page 61 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.

Once you have the FCC ID number for your phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for that phone.

Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate this. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled.
