Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If
you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or
experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening
to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult
your doctor.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives and 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)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
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.
