Compliance Information
There is no conclusive proof that these mobile phones are a health risk. The FDA and numerous researchers are continuing studies of RF radiation and health
issues. Additional information on this subject can be obtained from the FDA web site at www.fda.gov.
There are several suggested methods to reduce exposure for the user. Among those include the following:
1. Using a hands-free handset to increase the distance between the antenna and the head of the user,
2. Orienting the antenna away from the user.
Additional information can be obtained from the following documentation:
• Cisco white paper on RF exposure
• FCC Bulletin 56: Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential Hazards of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
Additional information can also be obtained from the following organizations as well as from the Cisco white paper on the subject:
• World Health Organization Internal Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. www.who.int/emf

Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse
noise through the USB base station. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.
This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. Make alternative arrangements for access to emergency
services.
