Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing

CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is encouraged

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 hand-held 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).
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.
