Knowing radio frequency safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below. Usage guidelines: All about
performance and safety 105 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 National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

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 phone's receiver.
• 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 is inoperable, return
it to Verizon Wireless or call Customer Care for service.
