Safety Information Radio Frequency (RF) energy Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy. Your service provider's network controls the power of the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006 watts to 0.6 watts. Exposure to RF energy In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies in the following reports: s ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992) s NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1986) s ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996) Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the FCC guidelines. Medical devices Pacemakers-If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker, the phone's RF energy may interfere with the pacemaker's operation. The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless technology research community recommend that you follow these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference. s Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on. s Do not carry your phone near your heart. s Use the ear opposite the pacemaker. s If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately. Hearing aids-Some digital wireless phones may interfere with 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 the device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to help you obtain this information. In health care facilities-Turn your phone off in health care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. User's Guide for QCP 860, QCP 1960, and QCP 2760 Thin Phones 39
