Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

3

Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile 
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative 
products ever developed. Your phone can help you to 
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency 
services and others.

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 Com-
mission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with 
safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guide-
lines are consistent with the safety standards previously 
set by both US and international standards bodies:

• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

• ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-
odic 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 guide-
lines (and those standards).

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement 
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or 
attachments could damage the phone and may violate 
FCC regulations.

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 (where applicable).

• 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.
