other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should
follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:
●
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
●
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you
or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
●
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise.
●
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
●
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that
might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to
sound normal.
●
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears,
hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable
audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it
receives and 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)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
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).
