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 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:
Don’t 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.
