SAFETY INFORMATIONI I FOR
WIRELESSI HANDHELD PHONES
Read this information before using your handheld portable Cellular Telephone.
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) sig- nals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commis- sion (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
*ANSI C95.1 (1992)
*NCRP Report 88 (1986) *ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physi- cians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement an- tenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach- ments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
*The meanings of the acronyms are:
ANSI : American National Standards Institute
NCRP : National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
ICNIRP: International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection
