Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner's
manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
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 handheld 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
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
*American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
