The World Health Organisation has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free'
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional
information can be found on the websites of the World Health
Organisation (http://www.who.int/emf).
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines
for testing.

FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communication (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use
only the supplied or an approved internal antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage
the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handset when
tested for use at the ear is 0.749 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.529 W/kg. Body-worn Operation; This
