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 display

and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen

protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to

malfunction.

 TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’sCenterforDevicesandRadiological

HealthConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

Theavailablescientificevidencedoesnotshowthatanyhealthproblemsareassociated

withusingwirelessphones.Thereisnoproof,however,thatwirelessphonesare

absolutelysafe.WirelessphonesemitlowlevelsofRadioFrequency(RF)energyin

themicrowaverangewhilebeingused.TheyalsoemitverylowlevelsofRFwhenin

standbymode.WhereashighlevelsofRFcanproducehealtheffects(byheatingtissue),

exposuretolowlevelRFthatdoesnotproduceheatingeffectscausesnoknown

adversehealtheffects.ManystudiesoflowlevelRFexposureshavenotfoundany

researchershavehaddifficultyinreproducingthosestudies,orindeterminingthe

reasonsforinconsistentresults.

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

productssuchaswirelessphonesbeforetheycanbesold,asitdoeswithnewdrugs

areshowntoemitRadioFrequency(RF)energyatalevelthatishazardoustotheuser.

Insuchacase,theFDAcouldrequirethemanufacturersofwirelessphonestonotify

usersofthehealthhazardandtorepair,replace,orrecallthephonessothatthehazard

actions,theFDAhasurgedthewirelessphoneindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,

includingthefollowing:

• SupportneededresearchintopossiblebiologicaleffectsofRFofthetypeemitted

• Cooperateinprovidingusersofwirelessphoneswiththebestpossibleinformation

TheFDAbelongstoaninteragencyworkinggroupofthefederalagenciesthathave

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source.Theso-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedto

thetelephonewiringinahouse,typicallyoperate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exposurescharacteristicofwirelessphones

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

developmentofcancerinlaboratoryanimals.However,manyofthestudiesthatshowed

theabsenceofRFexposure.OtherstudiesexposedtheanimalstoRFforupto22

hoursperday.Theseconditionsarenotsimilartotheconditionsunderwhichpeople

usewirelessphones,sowedonotknowwithcertaintywhattheresultsofsuchstudies

acousticneuroma,tumorsofthebrainorsalivarygland,leukemia,orothercancers.

Noneofthestudiesdemonstratedtheexistenceofanyharmfulhealtheffectsfrom

114 Safety

wirelessphoneRFexposures.However,noneofthestudiescananswerquestions

aboutlong-termexposures,sincetheaverage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

usingwirelessphoneswouldprovidesomeofthedatathatareneeded.Lifetimeanimal

exposurestudiescouldbecompletedinafewyears.However,verylargenumbersof

populations,buttenormoreyearsfollow-upmaybeneededtoprovideanswersabout

somehealtheffects,suchascancer.Thisisbecausetheintervalbetweenthetimeof

exposuretoacancer-causingagentandthetimetumorsdevelop—iftheydo—may

bemany,manyyears.Theinterpretationofepidemiologicalstudiesishamperedby

difficultiesinmeasuringactualRFexposureduringday-to-dayuseofwirelessphones.

Manyfactorsaffectthismeasurement,suchastheangleatwhichthephoneisheld,or

whichmodelofphoneisused.

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ToxicologyProgramandwithgroupsof

investigatorsaroundtheworldtoensurethathighpriorityanimalstudiesareconducted

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy coming from

wireless phones?

TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineers(IEEE)isdevelopingatechnical

standardformeasuringtheRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurefromwireless

phonesandotherwirelesshandsetswiththeparticipationandleadershipofFDA

scientistsandengineers.Thestandard,“RecommendedPracticeforDetermining

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from

my wireless phone?

Ifthereisariskfromtheseproducts—andatthispointwedonotknowthatthere

risks,youcantakeafewsimplestepstominimizeyourexposuretoRadioFrequency

(RF)energy.Sincetimeisakeyfactorinhowmuchexposureapersonreceives,

reducingtheamountoftimespentusingawirelessphonewillreduceRFexposure.

Ifyoumustconductextendedconversationsbywirelessphoneeveryday,youcould

placemoredistancebetweenyourbodyandthesourceoftheRF,sincetheexposure

leveldropsoffdramaticallywithdistance.Forexample,youcoulduseaheadsetand

carrythewirelessphoneawayfromyourbodyoruseawirelessphoneconnectedtoa

remoteantenna.Again,thescientificdatadoesnotdemonstratethatwirelessphones

areharmful.ButifyouareconcernedabouttheRFexposurefromtheseproducts,you

canusemeasureslikethosedescribedabovetoreduceyourRFexposurefromwireless

phoneuse.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

Thescientificevidencedoesnotshowadangertousersofwirelessphones,including

childrenandteenagers.IfyouwanttotakestepstolowerexposuretoRadioFrequency

usingwirelessphones.Reducingthetimeofwirelessphoneuseandincreasingthe

11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
