In August 1996 the Federal Communications (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report
and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.59 inch (1.5cm)
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been
tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone 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 hand-held 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 sc ientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and ind ustry reviewed the available body of research to dev elop the ANS I Standard
(C95.1).
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.
