Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies
and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC
adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
䊳
Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended
and over your shoulder.
䊳
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
䊳
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
䊳
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
䊳
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately
turn the power off and remove the battery. If it’s
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call
Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Note:
For the best care of your
phone, only Sprint PCS
authorized personnel
should service your
phone and its
accessories. Faulty
service may void the
warranty.
