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 data to develop the ANSI Standards (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those stan-
dards).

tection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-
tion Protection.
Antenna
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed 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 shortens talk and standby times.
Caution! The detached antenna should be handled with care. It has a sharp
metallic connector that could scratch, cut or puncture something or someone.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, such as that in hospitals and automobiles,
is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference
If you suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immedi-
ately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interferences, you may want to consult your service provider (or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
