90Exposure To Radio Frequency SignalsYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitterand receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also transmits radio frequency (RF)signalsIn August, 1996. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RFexposer guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Thoseguidelines 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 therelevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, andphysicians from universities, government health agencies, and industryreviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI standard (C95.1).The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and thosestandards).Body-worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear ahandset on your body, use a Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-wornaccessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from yourbody when transmitting. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violateFCC RF exposure guidelines.
