Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding 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
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August1996, the FCC adopted hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handseton your body, use the supplied or approved carrying case, holster
or other body-worn accessory. If you do notuse a body-worn accessory,
ensure the antenna is atleast7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non- approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
