SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD
PHONES
Read This Information Before Using Your Wireless
Handheld Phone
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your handheld wireless phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When powered ON, it
receives as well as 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 the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP REPORT 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
These standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific litera-
ture. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agen-
cies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your wireless phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and the abovementioned standards.
