SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
WARNING!
Please do not use your 2100t wireless telephone if you may be
distracted from another activity (such as driving a motor vehicle or walking
across the street) and create a safety hazard to yourself and others. Use your
wireless telephone responsibly. Be alert to your surroundings whenever you
operate your wireless telephone.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the following
guidelines:
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)*
*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
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 (C95.1)
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Body-worn Operation
For body-worn operation, The SAR testing of the device was performed using a 1.5cm air
gap, which corresponds to using clips and holsters that contain no metallic components
and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance and should be avoided.
