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.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in
antennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwirelessphones
canexposetheusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshort
distancebetweenthephoneandtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwith
theadviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephone
islocatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylower
becauseaperson'sRFexposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefrom
thesource.Theso-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedto
thetelephonewiringinahouse,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthus
produceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafetylimits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshave
