Safe and Efficient Use
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone is one of the most
exciting and innovative products ever developed. Your phone can help you to
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency services and others.
Efficient Phone Operation
To receive optimum performance with minimum power consumption hold the
phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the
mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects
call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and shorten talk and standby times.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
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
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both US
and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
Note: Some features and menus are operator dependent
