Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety 153
hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standard bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)
• ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Antenna care
Use only the specified of approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
T
IPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
