FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING!! Read this information before using your phone.
In August 1986 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Outer FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety
standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The
design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result
in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-Worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone
kept 1.5cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 1.5cm must be maintained between the user's body
and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories containing metallic
components shall not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 1.5cm
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.

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 hand-held wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
<ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86> (1986) / <ICIMIRP> (1996)
