■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from unive rsities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.
