40 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Base Station Operates
Your base station functions as a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you
use your base station, the system handling your call controls the power
level. This power can range from 1 microwatt to 50 milliwatts.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your base station 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).
