Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Guidelines for Safe
and Efficient Use
Note!
Read this information before using your portable phone.
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable phone is one of the most
exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in con-
tact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others.
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending upon the type of
mobile phone you have purchased, it operates in different frequency ranges
and employs commonly used modulation techniques. When you use your
phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), published a
statement in 1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld
mobile phone. According to this statement, which is based on the available
body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the rec-
ommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All Ericsson tele-
phones conform to the ICNIRP recommendations, and international exposure
standards, such as:
•
CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2
•
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia- Pacific)
If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient
manner.
