Exposure to radio frequency
signals
Your mobile handheld portable tele-
phone 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 mobile phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards set by both U.S and
international standard bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1996)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific lite-rature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, govern-
ment 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 the above stan-
dards.
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may
vio-late FCC regulations.

Protection and Measurement; International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radio Protection.
Phone operation
Normal position: Hold the phone as
you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation:
- Extend your antenna fully.
- Do not touch the antenna unneces-
sarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of mobile telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving,
please:
- Give full attention to driving. Driving
safety is your first responsibility.
- Use hands-free operation, if available.
- Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit the use of
phones while in the air. Switch off your
phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting oper-
ations, turn your phone off when in a
"blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn
off two-way radio". Obey all signals and
instructions.
