Rules, Regulations, and Precautions First introduced in 1984, the handheld portable cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, home, emergency services, and others. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the following guidelines: Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
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).
