The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone 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)
Santé Canada, Code de sécurité 6, 1999.
American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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 (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.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please observe the following:
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first
responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.
