TIA Safety Information

Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing
Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner's manual for
CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is encouraged
when appropriate.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signal
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).

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.

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.

Protection
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. 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 require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
