Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless mobile telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of
public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1996
•
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
•
United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines
(1996)
•
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI
standard.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate local agency
regulations. Please refer to your Service Provider for further information.
Phone Operation
Do not operate your mobile telephone when a person is within 4 inches (10 cm) of the
antenna. A person or object within 4 inches (10 cm) of the antenna could impair call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary
and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF
Exposure Guidelines.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following guidelines when using your
phone while driving.
¾
Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility.
¾
Use hands-free phone operation, as provided by this kit
¾
Turn off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
