The design of your Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
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 than120 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).
