Safety Information
IMPORTANT: Read this information before using your wireless mobile phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless mobile telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
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 Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
•United States Federal Communications Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure
Guidelines (1996)
•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86
•Ministry of Health (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 as described under "Phone
Operation."
Antenna Installation Guidelines
Important:
To meet the FCC's RF Exposure guidelines and satisfy the categorical exclusion requirements
for mobile transmitters, the antenna must be installed so there is at least 20 cm of separation
between the antenna and both the occupants of the vehicle and bystanders outside of the vehicle.
In addition, total antenna gain must not allow the transmitted ERP to exceed 1.5 Watts.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate local agency
regulations.
Phone Operation
Carry Configuration
Do not operate your mobile telephone when a person is within 4 inches (10 centimeters) of the
antenna. A person or object within 4 inches (10 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose
that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
