Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a
regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and
the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for
body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone
for body worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 0.59 inches (1.5
centimeters) separation distance between the user’s body
and the phone, including antennas. Body worn accessories
that do not meet these requirements may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
This device is not intended to be used with a lanyard or strap
on the body. The device contains a mounting point that may
be used to attach the device to equipment, a backpack, or
tool belt, etc.
