SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HANDHELD
PORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE
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 handheld 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 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
