Safety Information
Radio Frequency (RF) energy
Your telephone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is on, it receives
and sends out RF energy. Your service
provider’s network controls the power
of the RF signal. This power level can
range from 0.006 watts to 0.6 watts.
Exposure to RF energy
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. These guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies in the following
reports:
■ ANSI C95.1 (American National
Standards Institute, 1992)
■ NCRP Report 86 (National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
■ ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the
standards set by these reports and the
FCC guidelines.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—If your portable wireless
phone is too close to a pacemaker, the
phone’s RF energy may interfere with
the pacemaker’s operation. The Health
Industry Manufacturers Association
and the wireless technology research
community recommend that you
follow these guidelines to minimize the
potential for interference.
