Read This Information Before Using Your
MICRO T•A•C ELITE Personal Cellular Telephone
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular
telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative
electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay
in contact with your office, your home, emergency
services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe these guidelines.
Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the
frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs
commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.
When you use your phone, the cellular system handling
your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a
watt to 0.6 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and
industry, after reviewing the available body of research,
developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
