7.1 Regulatory information - United States (FCC compli
ance)
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 modications, 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/front of the
phone kept 10mm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user’s body
and the back/front of the phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components shall not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 10mm separation distance between the
user’s body and the back/front 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.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
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 ex
posure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and interna
tional standards bodies: - ANSIC95.1 (1992) - NCRP Report 86 (1986) - ICNIRP
(1999)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the rel
evant scienti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). Nevertheless, we recom
mend that you use a hands-free kit with your phone (such as an earpiece or headset)
