Your wireless handheld portable telephone
is
a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When
it
is
ON,
it
receives and also sends
out radiofrequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand
-
heldwire
-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both
U.S.
and internationalstandards bodies:
ANSIC95.
I(I
992)'
NCRPReport 86
(I
986)
ICIMIRP(1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensiveand periodic evalua
-
tions of the relevantscientific literature. For example, over I20scien
-
tists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.
I).
Nevertheless, we recommend
that you use a handsfree
kit
with your phone (such
as
an earpiece or
headset) toavoid potential exposure to RF energy.
The design
of
your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
i
\
Use only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unautho
-
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCCregulations.
NORMAL POSITION: Holdthe phone as you would any other tele
-
phonewith the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder.
TIPS
ON
EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Extendyour antennafully.
Do
nottouch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is
in use.
Contact with the antenna affects
call
quality and may cause the
phone tooperate at a higher power levelthan otherwise needed.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phonewhile driving, please:
Give full attention to driving

Most modern electronic equipment
is
shielded from RF signals. How
-
ever, 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 separationofsix (6
"
) inches be maintainedbetweena hand

with the pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with the
