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
CPUI64BOEJOUFSOBUJPOBMTUBOEBSETCPEJFT
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
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.
