Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

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.

European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

Verband Deutscher Elektrotechnik (VDE) DIN-0848

Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE C95.1-1992

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), Report 86

Department of Health and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. 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 these standards when used normally. Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
