TIA Safety Information

Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety
Information for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion
of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and
Other Medical Devices is required in the ownerís
manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining
TIA language is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
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 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 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
*American National Standards Institute;
NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection and
Measurements;International Commission on Non-
Ionizing RadiationProtection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
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
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up
and over your shoulder.
