TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives and 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)
| * American National Standards Institute; National | |
| Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; | |
| International Commission on | |
SAFETY | Protection | |
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). | |
| 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.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please observe the following:
●Give full attention to driving
●Use
●Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions or the law require it.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
