CDM-8600GENERICVERSION6/10-1 2003.6.10 5:13 PM SAR INFORMATION THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
CDM-8600GENERICVERSION6/10-1 2003.6.10 5:13 PM U.S. Food and Drug Administration - Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones 1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
CDM-8600GENERICVERSION6/10-1 2003.6.10 5:13 PM Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
CDM-8600GENERICVERSION6/10-1 2003.6.10 5:13 PM contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of addi- tional research needs in the context of the latest research devel- opments around the world.
CDM-8600GENERICVERSION6/10-1 2003.6.10 5:13 PM phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discour- aged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the govern- ment in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000.
Many companies are making look alike accessories and in some cases, promoting that their product is equal to or better than the Audiovox product. Be careful. Some of these products may not be compatible to use with your Audiovox product and may damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.
