Safety Information

Important:

Read this information before using your 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) C95.1 1992

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement

(NCRP) Report 86 1986

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).

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.

Phone Operation

Normal Operation

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna

pointed up and over your shoulder.
