wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
■ ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard

■ NCRP Report 86 (1986)

■ ICNIRP (1996)

■ IRPA (1991) Guidelines on Protection Against Non-ionizing Radiation

The phone and this car kit are designed to comply with established ANSI,
FCC, and international safety standards for safe levels of human exposure
to RF energy. Nonetheless, RF field intensity at the surface of the
transmitting car kit antenna is fairly high. Maintaining a minimum line-of
-sight separation distance of 25 cm (10 inches) between the transmitting
antenna and all personnel will ensure that the General Population/
Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are
not exceeded. This satisfies the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47
CFR Ch. 1 (10-1-98 Edition), Part 1, paragraph 1.1310 and defined in the
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 standard, and also satisfies the slightly
more-stringent European and international exposure limit
recommendations of IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1996).
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
1. American National Standards Institute
2. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
3. International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
4. Internal Radiation Protection Association
