PHONE SAFETY

AND CARE

Background

The hand-held portable telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. It let’s you stay in touch wherever you go.

Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.2 of a watt.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and interna- tional standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute, NCRP Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection.

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
