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).
* A merican 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your device while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first priority and
responsibility;
•
Use hands-free operation, if available;
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if the driving
conditions do require.
