Background
The hand-held portable personal communication
service telephone is one of the most exciting and
innovative electronic products ever developed. With
it you can stay in contact with your office, your
home, emergency services etc.
Your personal communication service telephone is a
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)
energy. The phone operates in the frequency range
of 800MHz to 840MHz (QCP 800) or 1850 MHz to
1990 MHz (QCP 1900). When you use your phone,
the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits. The power
level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.3 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and in 1992, the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the
1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect
to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and
industry, after reviewing the available body of
research, developed this updated standard.
