TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on
wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications
Industry Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion
in the user manual of text covering pacemakers,
hearing aids and other medical devices. It's
encouraged the use of the remaining TIA
language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a
lowpower 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)
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).
