TIA Safety
Information
Provided herein is the
complete TIA Safety
Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of
the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other
Medical Devices is required
in the owner’s manual for
CTIA Certifi cation. Use of the
remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
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 scientifi c 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).
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
14
* 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).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or
an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifi cations, 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.
Tips on Effi cient
Operation
For your phone to operate
most effi ciently:
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.
Driving
Check the laws and
regulations on the use of
wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving
- driving safely is your fi rst
responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
15
Pull off the road and park
before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so
require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF
signals.
However, certain electronic
equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6’) inches
be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the
pacemaker.
These recommendations
are consistent with the
independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons
with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the
phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON;
Should not carry the phone
in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear
opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to
suspect that interference
is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
16
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may
want to consult your service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device
to determine if they are
adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this
information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in
health care facilities when
any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect
improperly installed or
inadequately shielded
