for wireless handheld phones:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a
low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON,
it receives and 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, as follows:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection. 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).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
