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 handheld 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 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).
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
The design of your phone complies with
the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care

replacement antenna. Unauthorized
