12: Safety Recommendations
(For Information Only)
For the efficient and safe operation of your GSM application based on
the AirPrime SL808X Embedded Module, please read the following
information carefully.
12.1 RF safety
12.1.1 General
Your GSM terminal is based on the GSM standard for cellular
technology. The GSM standard is spread all over the world. It covers
Europe, Asia and some parts of America and Africa. This is the most
used telecommunication standard.
Your GSM terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. It sends out as well as receives radio frequency energy.
When you use your GSM application, the cellular system which
handles your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power
level of your cellular modem.
12.1.2 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of
using GSM terminals. Although research on health effects from RF
energy has focused on the current RF technology for many years,
scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies,
such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after
compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has
been concluded that the product was fitted for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, there are things
you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of
your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you
can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular terminal efficiently
by following the guidelines below.
12.1.3 Efficient terminal operation
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level,
consistent with satisfactory call quality:
If your terminal has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some
models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However
your GSM terminal operates more efficiently with the antenna when it
is fully extended.
