TIA(Telecommunications Industry
Association) 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 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 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)
Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthoriaed 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.
