Qualcomm GIK-1700 manual Exposure to radio frequency signals

Introduction

■Secure the phone in your vehicle to prevent personal injury and damage to the phone in the event of an accident.

When attaching or detaching the exterior antenna to the GIK with the antenna cables, disconnect all power to the phone and the GIK. Note that DC voltage is present in the central conductor of the antenna cable (45-C6162-1). See Globalstar Installation Kit standard components, page 10.

■Detach the phone from the GIK and disconnect the power interface cable (45-C6184-1) to the GIK when jump starting the vehicle or recharging the car battery. Jump starting may cause the GIK fuse to open. Refer to the installation sheet for further information regarding interconnects.

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 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 international standards bodies:

■ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 Standard1

■NCRP Report 86 (1986)2

■ICNIRP (1998)3
