7.2.1.3 Efficient Terminal Operation
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality:
• If your terminal has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow
you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However your GSM terminal
operates more efficiently with the antenna when it is fully extended.
• Do not hold the antenna when the terminal is « IN USE ». Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level
than needed.

the cellular system which handles your calls controls both the radio frequency and
the power level of your cellular modem.
7.2.1.2 Exposure to RF Energy
There has been some public concern on possible health effects of using GSM
terminals. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused on the
current RF technology for many years, scientists have beg
newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed,
and after compliance to all applicable safety standards ha
concluded that the product was safe to use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, there are things you can do to
minimize the exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration
