TIASafety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s
manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
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 Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards 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, gov-
ernment 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 attachments could dam-
age the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
