Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by international standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP). Report 86. 1986
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards
include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
Specifi c Absorption Rate
, or SAR.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations
in usage. Normal conditions only ensure the radiative performance
and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the
equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no
part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna
during operation of the equipment.
