TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s
manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
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 (C95.1).
*American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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.

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
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
] Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily 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 wireless phones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
] Give full attention to driving — driving safely 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.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6’) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
