IV. Safety Information

1. TIA Safety Language

1) 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 hand-held 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 (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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:

. Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;

. Use hands-free operation, if available;

. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

5) ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be

shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be

maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless

Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

. Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

. Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

. Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
