Can I minimize my RF exposure?
IfyouareconcernedaboutRF,thereare
severalsimplestepsyoucantaketo
minimizeyourRFexposure.Youcan,of
course,reduceyourtalktime.Youcanplace
moredistancebetweenyourbodyandthe
sourceoftheRF,astheexposureleveldrops

Tips on Efficient Operation
Foryourphonetooperatemostefficiently:
Don’ttouchtheantennaunnecessarily

2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreview
thesafetyofradiation-emittingconsumer

37
areshowntoemitRadioFrequency(RF)

themanufacturersofwirelessphonesto
notifyusersofthehealthhazardandto

3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refershereto
handheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in
antennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or
“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwireless
phonescanexposetheusertomeasurable
RadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseofthe
shortdistancebetweenthephoneandthe
user’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCC
safetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwith
theadviceoftheFDAandotherfederal
healthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephone
islocatedatgreaterdistancesfromthe
user,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylower
becauseaperson’sRFexposuredecreases
rapidlywithincreasingdistancefromthe

whichhaveabaseunitconnectedtothe

40
For Your Safety
atfarlowerpowerlevels,andthusproduce
RFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafety
limits.
4. What are the results of the research
done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproduced
conflictingresults,andmanystudies
havesufferedfromflawsintheirresearch
methods.Animalexperimentsinvestigating
theeffectsofRadioFrequency(RF)energy

haveyieldedconflictingresultsthatoften
cannotberepeatedinotherlaboratories.A
fewanimalstudies,however,havesuggested
thatlowlevelsofRFcouldacceleratethe

However,manyofthestudiesthatshowed

Noneofthestudiesdemonstratedthe

ofthestudiescananswerquestionsabout

periodofphoneuseinthesestudieswas
aroundthreeyears.
5. What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
Acombinationoflaboratorystudiesand
epidemiologicalstudiesofpeopleactually

ofthedatathatareneeded.Lifetimeanimal

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more
about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
TheFDAisworkingwiththeU.S.National

NOTE: Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, the
proximity sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the touch
screen by sensing when the phone is
near your ear. This extends battery life
and prevents you from unintentionally
activating the touch screen during calls.
WARNING
Placing a heavy object on the phone
or sitting on it can damage the LCD
and touch screen functions. Do not
cover the LCD proximity sensor with
protective film. This could cause the
sensor to malfunction.
