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 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).

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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please:
