Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
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.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
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 hand-held 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
64
RD9800
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).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
