Safety Information

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held
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)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 sci-
entists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unau-
thorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Normal Position:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
•
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
