wireless handheld phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
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 safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) Report 86
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (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).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
