Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
Use of your phone is subject to safety rules designed to protect the user and his or her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
- Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out 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) (*)
NCPR 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).
- For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Phone Operation
- Normal position: hold the phone as you would any other phone with the upper zone (back of the LCD display) pointed up and
over your shoulder.
- Tips on efficient operation: for your phone to operate most efficiently: do not touch cover unnecessarily the top part of the
phone with your hand. This would cover the integrated antenna and affect call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
- Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving while driving please:
• Give full attention of driving, driving safely is your first responsibility
• Use hands-free operation, if available
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
