Please contact 3 or NEC for advice. Efficient use The phone has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please do not cover the internal antenna area with your hand. Covering the internal antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at higher power levels than needed and may shorten talk and standby times. Radio frequency energy Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter/receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the call controls the power level at which the phone transmits. Exposure to radio frequency energy The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by national authorities and international health agencies.* These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations such as ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection) through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements. *Examples of radio frequency exposure guidelines and standards that the phone is designed to conform to: · ICNIRP, Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
