6.3 Safety recommendations (for information only) 
IMPORTANT 
FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF 
YOUR GSM APPLICATION BASED ON WISMO Quik Q24x6 Series  
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY 
6.3.1  RF safety 
6.3.1.1 General 
Your GSM terminal
6
 is based on the GSM standard for cellular technology. The 
GSM standard is spread all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia and some 
parts of America and Africa. This is the most used telecommunication 
standard. 
Your GSM terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It 
sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your GSM 
application, the cellular system which handles your calls controls both the 
radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem. 
6.3.1.2 Exposure to RF energy 
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using 
GSM terminals. Although research on health effects from RF energy has 
focused on the current RF technology for many years, scientists have begun 
research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing 
research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety 
standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product was fitted 
for use. 
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do 
to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce 
your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by 
operating your cellular terminal efficiently by following the below guidelines. 
6.3.1.3  Efficient terminal operation 
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with 
satisfactory call quality : 
If your terminal has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow 
you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However your GSM terminal 
operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. 
Do not hold the antenna when the terminal is  IN USE . Holding the antenna 
affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power 
level than needed.
