CTIA Safety Information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless hand held 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 hand-held wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standard 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).
Antenna care
Use only the specified of approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
