TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety
Information for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is
a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When ON, it receives and sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld wire-
less 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)
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Those standards were based on comprehen-
sive and periodic evaluations of the relevant
scientifi c 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 the
FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifi cations, 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 Effi cient Operation
For your phone to operate most effi ciently:
Don’t 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.
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.
