Whenit is ON, it receives and also sends out radio fre-quency (RF) signals.In August 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelineswith safety levels for handheld wireless phones.Those guidelines are consistent with the safetystandards previously set by both U.S. and interna-tional standards bodies:ANSI C95.1 (1992) *NCRP Report 86 (1986) *ICNIRP (1996) *Those standards were based on comprehensiveand periodic evaluations of the relevant scientificliterature. For example, over 120 scientists, engi-neers, and physicians from universities, govern-ment health agencies, and industry reviewed theavailable body of research to develop the ANSIStandard (C951).The design of your phone complies with the FCCguidelines (and those standards).1* : American National Standards Institute.2* : National Council on Radiation protection and measure-ments.3* : International Commission on Nonionizing RadiationProtection.Antenna safetyUse only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, orattachments could impair call quality, damage thephone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.Please contact your local dealer for replacementantenna.Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.

Whenit is ON, it receives and also sends out radio fre-quency (RF) signals.Most modern electronic equipment is shieldedfrom RF energy. However, certain electronic equip-ment may not be shielded against the RF signalsfrom your wireless phone. Therefore, use of yourphone must be restricted in certain situations.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Associationrecommends that a minimum separation of six(6”) inches be maintained between a handheldwireless phone and a pacemaker to avoidpotential interference with the pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with theindependent research by and recommendationsof Wireless Technology Research. Persons withpacemakers :• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inchesfrom your pacemaker when the phone isturned on.• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-mize the potential for interference.• If you have any reason to suspect that inter-ference is taking place, turn your phone OFFimmediately.
