! Most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of
portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices
that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly
during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible
interference with the reception of signals by airborne
electronic navigational devices.
! FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in
the air. Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft.
! Always request and obtain prior consent and approval
of an authorized airline representative before using your
device aboard an aircraft.
! Always follow the instructions of the airline
representative whenever using your device aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with
airborne electronic equipment.

All portable computers produce low levels of RF energy
due to the generation of digital timing pulses by its clock
oscillator circuits. Your wireless handheld portable
PPC4100 Pocket PC phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
sends out 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 (C951).
