Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated
output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure
limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on the safety standards previously set by international
standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996.
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
damage the phone, causing loss of performance.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance and the battery life.
Carrying the unit
Due to radio frequency emissions, do not operate the radio with the unit
in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any method that keeps the
powered unit in very close proximity to the head or torso. For proper
operation, carry the unit in your hand with the antennas located at least 8
inches (~20 cm) from the head or torso. See the following illustration for
the correct and incorrect way to operate the unit.
