Safety Information
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 previ-
ously 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).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unautho-
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone
and may violate FCC regulations.
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:
Extend your antenna fully.
•
• Do not 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.
