Safety Information

Important:
Read this information before using your wireless handheld
phone.
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
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute. C95.1 (1992).
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.
•
Report 86 (1986).
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
•
(1996).
Ministry of Health (Canada). Safety Code 6.
•
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).
Important:
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
if you wear a handset on your body use the Motorola 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-Motorola
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Normal Operation:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
