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 Commission (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/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard

■ NCRP Report 86 (1986)

■ ICNIRP (1996)

■ IRPA (1991) Guidelines on Protection Against Non-

ionizing Radiation

The phone and this car kit are designed to comply with

established ANSI, FCC, and international safety standards for

safe levels of human exposure to RF energy. Nonetheless, RF

field intensity at the surface of the transmitting car kit

antenna is fairly high. Maintaining a minimum line-of -sight

separation distance of 25 cm (10 inches) between the

transmitting antenna and all personnel will ensure that the

General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum

Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are not exceeded. This

satisfies the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47 CFR Ch.

1 (10-1-98 Edition), Part 1, paragraph 1.1310 and defined in

the ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 standard, and also satisfies the

slightly more-stringent European and international exposure

limit recommendations of IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1996).
