SAFETY INFORMATION FOR  

WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES

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 handheld 

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 (C951).
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.
