Radiofrequency (RF) EnergyUnderstanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, itreceives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respectto human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, governmenthealth agencies and industries developed this
