Safety Recommendations (for Information Only)
Warning:
For the efficient and safe operation of your GSM application
based on the WISMO228, please read the following information
carefully.
RF Safety
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
and
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.
Exposure
to
RF
Energy
There
has
been
some
public
concern
about
possible
health
effects
from
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
fit
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.
Efficient
Terminal
Operation
For
your
GSM
terminal
to
operate
at
the
lowest
power
level,
consistent
with
satisfactory
call
quality:
If
your
terminal
has
an
extendible
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
fully
extended.
Do
not
hold
the
antenna
when
the
terminal
is
«
IN
USE
».
Holding
the
antenna
affects
call
quality
and
may
cause
the
modem
to
operate
at
a
higher
power
level
than
needed.
