TIA’s Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA
(Telecommunications Industry Association).
It’s required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering
pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It’s encouraged the use of the
remaining TIA language when relevant.
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 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).
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
