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.
International agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to
RF electromagnetic energy.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
• United States Federal Communications Commission,
Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (1996)
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United
Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.
1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP). Report 86
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the updated ANSI standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards
when used normally.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
local agency regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone
most efficiently.
• Extend your antenna fully, if applicable.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
