Safety 148SafetySafetyGetting the Most Out of Your ReceptionKeeping Tabs on Signal StrengthThe quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area.Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of barsnext to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. Ifyou’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.Understanding the Power Save FeatureIf your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Savefeature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks serviceavailability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Savefeature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, yourphone returns to standby mode.Understanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receivesand transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the systemhandling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2watts in digital mode.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below. In1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safetylevels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineersand physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industries developedthis updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. InAugust 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEEstandard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection andMeasurements (NCRP).
