SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
HANDHELD PORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
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 handheld
wireless 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) *
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 (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
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.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely
dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,
safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
y Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
y Use hands-free operation, if available.
