SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
Read this information before using your handheld portable cellular Telephone
.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines that are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S and
international standards bodies:
•
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
•
NCRP Report 88(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). The design of your phone complies with the
FCC guidelines (and those standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachment could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder.
