TIA Safety Information
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 ON, it receives and 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)
* 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 internal 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
