Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information
for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text
covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Medical
Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA
Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
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 (C95.1).
*
American National Standards Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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.
