SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
Read this information before using your
handheld portable Cellular Telephone.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) sig-
nals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
*
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
*
NCRP Report 88 (1986)
*
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your
phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement an-
tenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
