Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals
In August, 1996. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposer 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).
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use a Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your
body when transmitting. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violate
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
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.
