periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
ⅷ
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
ⅷ

Radio Frequency (RF)Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Yourphone is basically a radio transmitterand receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.
When you use yourphone, the system handling yourcall
controls the powerlevel. This powercan range from 0.006 watt to
0.2 watt in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of yourphone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard forsafety levels with
respect to human exposure to RFsignals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard afterreviewing the available body of research.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996,
the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEEstandard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP).
