Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for
Wireless Handheld devices. Inclusion of the text covering
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices
is required in the owner's manual for CTIA Certification.
Use of the remaining TIA language is encouraged when
appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable device 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 handheld wireless
devices.
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 industries
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Device Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the device as you would on
any telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
