Radio frequency (RF) energy
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives
and sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s network controls the power
of the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006 to 0.6 watts.

In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies in the
following reports:
•
ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
•
NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
•
ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the FCC
guidelines.
