FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design
of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the
device kept 0 inch (0 cm) from the body.
Consumer Information about Radio
Frequency Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and
receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The
following consumer information addresses commonly asked
questions about the health effects of wireless devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio
frequency ("RF") energy has been conducted worldwide for
many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") and the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") set policies and procedures for wireless
devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to device usage where it states, The scientific
community at large ... believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) from the devices and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend
conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field. You can
access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov
(under "C" in the subject index, select Cell Phones >
Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888)
463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA
entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research is
