Cautions and
Warnings
INTRODUCTION
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 Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ-
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: ANSI C95.1
(1992)*, NCRP Report 89 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions for 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 FCC guide-
lines (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.
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Phone Operation- NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you
would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
