Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing
the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted
hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
standard and the guidelines published by the National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP).
Maintaining your Phone’s
Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ᮣ
Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended
and over your shoulder.
ᮣ
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
ᮣ
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ᮣ
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
ᮣ
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately
turn the power off and remove the battery. If it’s
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call
Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Tip:
For the best care of your
phone, only Sprint PCS
authorized personnel
should service your
phone and its
accessories. Faulty
service may void the
warranty.
