Knowing radio frequency safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government
health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard
in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining your phone’s peak performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
•
Try not to cover the phone’s internal antenna.
•
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
•
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power
off and remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a
dealer store or call Customer Support for service.
Note:
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void
the warranty.
