EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone 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
Commission (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)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
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.
▼
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Extend your antenna fully.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
SAFETY INFORMATION
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
ii
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving — driving safely is your
•
first responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available:
•
Pull off the road and park before making or
•
answering a call if driving conditions so require.
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.
iii
▼
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
▼
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information.
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 be using 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
▼
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices
so require.
AIRCRAFT
FCC Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.

WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONE PRIVACY

the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your
communications can be received by radio receiving
devices other than your own wireless handheld phone.
Consequently, any communications using your wireless
handheld phone may not be private.
v
