Understanding how your phone operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and re c e i ve r.
When it’s turned on,it re c e i ves and transmits radio fre-
quency (RF) signals.When your phone is in use,the system
handling your call controls the power leve l .This powe r
l evel can ra n ge from 0.006 watts to 0.2 wa t t s .
Radio frequency safety
In 1991—1992,the Institute of Electrical and Electro n i c s
E n gi n e e rs (IEEE) and the A m e rican National Standard s
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating A N S I ’s 1982 standard fo r
s a fety levels with respect to human ex p o s u re to RF signals.
M o re than 120 scientists,e n gi n e e rs and physicians fro m
u n i ve rs i t i e s , gove rnment health agencies and industry
d eveloped this updated standard after rev i ewing the ava i l-
able body of re s e a rch .In 1993,the Fe d e ra l
C o m munications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
s t a n d a rd in a re g u l a t i o n .In August 1996,the FCC adopted a
hy b rid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE stan-
d a r d and the guidelines published by the National Council
of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
The design of the phone complies with these updated stan-
d a rd s .Of cours e ,if you want to limit RF ex p o s u re even fur-
ther than the updated standard ,you can choose to contro l
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the
most powe r - e f ficient manner.
