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 set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern-ment. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the gen-eral population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-ment (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.

In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.

Normal condi-tions only ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equip-ment, 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.
