READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING.CautionsIn August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of theUnited States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adoptedan updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequencyelectromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Thoseguidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by bothU.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complieswith the FCC guidelines and these international standards.Body-Worn operationThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with theback of the phone kept 1cm. from the body.
