TIA Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone
is a lowpower 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
(C95.1).
