Radiation

The phone and this kit are designed to comply with established
ANSI, FCC, and international safety standards for safe levels of
human exposure to RF energy. Nonetheless, RF field intensity at
the surface of the transmitting antenna is fairly high. Maintaining
a minimum line-of -sight separation distance of 25 cm (10 inches)
between the transmitting antenna and all personnel will ensure
that the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are not exceeded. This satisfies
the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47 CFR Ch. 1 (2006
Edition), Part 1, paragraph 1.1310 and defined in the ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1999 standard, and also satisfies the slightly more-stringent
European and international exposure limit recommendations of
IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1998).
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
