TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA
(Telecommunications Industry Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of
text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's
encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines 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 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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
