Important! Read this information about exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It 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 wireless phones. Those guide-
lines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by the following U.S.
and international standards bodies.

●

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

●

NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement) Report
86 [1986]

●

ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
[1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to
those standards.
