Safety Information
Important:
Read this information before using your
wireless handheld phone.
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
Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
IEEE. C95. 1-1992
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP). Report 86
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6
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). For additional
information concerning exposure to radio frequency
signals, see the statement by the FDA at the end of
this user guide.
