SAFETY INFORMATION FOR

WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES

Read this information before using your Handheld

Portable Cellular Telephone.

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 the safety

standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards

bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986) *

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 (C951).
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.
