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).
* 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).
