Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
・American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
・National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
・International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
・Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in usage. Normal conditions only ensure the radiative performance
and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal
safety reasons, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
WEEE Notice
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is designed to
encourage and regulate the collection, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste
electrical and electronic equipment, which entered into force as European law on
13th February 2003. The Directive aims to improve the level of recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment (EEE) and encourages designers to develop products with
recycling efficiency in mind; it also aims to improve our environment and reduce risks
to human health through the proper treatment of discarded goods.
