Samsung SPH-a500 Series manual Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals, Body-worn Operation

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 transmits radio frequency (RF) signals

In August, 1996. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposer guidelines with safety levels for hand-held 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)

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).

Body-worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a Samsung supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
