TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA
Safety Information 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:

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 an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.

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:

Don’t 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.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive and always
obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please observe the
following:

●

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

●

Use hands-free operation, if
available;

Safety

98

●

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

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 (6) 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;

●

Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is
taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
