Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996,
the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/
IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
l Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and
over your shoulder.
l Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.
l Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
l Speak directly into the phone’s receiver.
l Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the
power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, return it
