IV. Safety Information
1. TIA Safety Language
Provided herein is the TIA Safety Information for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion
of this text in the terminal unit’s owner’s manual is required for CTIA Certification.
1) 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 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
2) 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.
3) PHONE OPERATION
NORMAL POSITION : Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently:
- Extend your antenna fully.
- Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with
the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
4) DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where
you rive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
- Give full attention to driving
- driving safely is your first responsibility;
- Use hands-free operation, if available;
- Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so required.
