For Your Safety
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the
user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications
to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty
and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio
frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses
commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the
Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures
for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific community at large
… believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association
between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse
health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conducting
additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being
conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments
in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.
gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In
