back 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 exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies:

 <ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86>
(1986) / <ICIMIRP> (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). Nevertheless, we
recommend that you use a hands-free kit with
your phone (such as an earpiece or headset)
to avoid potential exposure to RF energy. The
design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

 Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.

 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:
 • Extend your antenna fully.
 • 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.
