Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Caution

Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications
could impair call quality, damage the phone,
void your warranty and/or result in violation of
FCC regulations.

TIA Safety InformationThe 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 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)
American National Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation 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.
