Guidelines for Safe and
Efficient Use
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone has been one of the
most exciting and innovative products ever developed.Your phonecan help you
to stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency services and others.
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) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both US 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 ofresearch 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 antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
