Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated National
Council of Radiation Protections and Measurements (NCRP)
standards described below. To further limit RF exposure, you can
limit the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the
most power-efficient manner. In 1991-92, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a
regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the NCRP.
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna.
Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the
battery. If it's inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer
Solutions for service.
