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 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 (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
1: American National Standards Institute.
2: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.
3: International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local
dealer for replacement antenna.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some
states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use
of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions
so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and
auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
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.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.
