SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Several expert groups belonging to or having been appointed by official national
or international bodies have analysed all the existing publications and, to date,
have concluded that there is a lack of evidence as to any credible or convincing
hazardous effects of mobile phones on health.
These studies have, in particular, focused on the fact that mobile handsets
receive and emit electromagnetic waves via their antenna.
Experts from such organizations as the European Commission and the
International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have
established thresholds on a handset’s emissions to the human body. The main
measurement standard is known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). ALCATEL
can formally state that all its GSM mobile phones generate a SAR that is
significantly below these thresholds.
Furthermore, ALCATEL actively supports national and international research
into this issue carried out by authoritative and independent organizations.
If you still have concerns on this issue, you may use your mobile phone with a
headset, or use the handsfree feature integrated in the phone and, while
driving, use the full-duplex handsfree vehicle kit (cf. chapter entitled
“Accessories”, page 92).
The part numbers of these accessories can be found in the “Accessories”
chapter on page 92.)
