Introduction

IRPA (1991) Guidelines on Protection Against Non-ionizing Radiation1

The phone and this kit are designed to comply with established ANSI, FCC, and international safety standards for safe levels of human exposure to RF energy. Nonetheless, RF field intensity at the surface of the transmitting antenna is fairly high. Maintaining

aminimum line-of -sight separation distance of 25 cm (10 inches) between the transmitting antenna and all personnel will ensure that the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are not exceeded. This satisfies the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47 CFR Ch. 1 (2006 Edition), Part 1, paragraph 1.1310 and defined in the ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 standard, and also satisfies the slightly more-stringent European and international exposure limit recommendations of IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1998).

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone operation

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
