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) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (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 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research
to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Portable Cellular Telephone
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is
illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the
laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
l
Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
l
Use hands-free operation, if available.
l
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if
driving conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed
dialing, and auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
