RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your smartphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone
is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
Depending on the type of smartphone you possess, it operates on
different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation
techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using
your phone controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
The International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), supported by the World Health Organisation (WHO),
published during1996 a statement and in 1998 guidelines which set
recommended limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile
telephones. According to ICNIRP statement, which is based on the
available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals
meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health
effects. All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP guidelines
and other international exposure standards, such as:
CENELEC EUROPEAN PRE-STANDARD ENV50166-2:1995
(EUROPE)
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, ASIA-PACIFIC)
AS/NZS 2772.1 (INT):1998 (AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND)
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas
where you drive. if you are going to use your phone while driving,
please:
Give full attention to driving.
Use an Ericsson Vehicle Handsfree solution, if available. Law in
many countries requires Vehicle Handsfree solution. Read the
installation instructions carefully before installing a Vehicle
Handsfree solution.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such
as car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle
manufacturers do not allow use of phones, unless the installation is
supported by a handsfree kit with an external antenna, in their
vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be
sure that your smartphone will not affect the electronic systems in
your vehicle.
