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).
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently: Don't 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.
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 (6) 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;
●
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
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 (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
