Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the dis-
posal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it
receive and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
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 than 120 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).
