Efficient use

The handset has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please
do not cover the internal antenna area with your hand. Covering the internal antenna affects call quality, may
cause the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and may shorten talk and standby times.

Radio frequency energy

Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the call controls the power
level at which the handset transmits.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

The handset is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by national authorities and
international health agencies.* These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent
scientific organizations such as ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection)
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations
in measurements.
