Wireless Operation Safety Information
IMPORTANT! Read This Information Before Using Your Wireless Telephone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your fixed wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
European and International Agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public
exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Electringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848
• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1998
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally. During operation the user must be
at least 20 centimeters away from the antenna.
