Safety Information
IMPORTANT
For the efficient and safe operation of your wireless handheld
portable telephone, observe these guidelines.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.
European and International agencies have set standards and recommendations
for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
•
International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1996
• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848
• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Report 86
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the
updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications or attachments 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.
Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
•
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
