Exposure to Radio
Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld
portable telephone is a
lowpower 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 scientifi c 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).
