Compliance information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
The BlackBerry® Wireless Headset HS-500 radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the headset radio is turned on, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The headset is designed to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF exposure for wireless devices, which in turn are consistent with the following
safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:
•
ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1999, American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard for Safety Levels
with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (3 kHz to 300 GHz)
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields
•
Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from
3 kHz to 300 GHz
•
