charger. Select one of the following two options:

• Place the phone with the battery attached into

the front compartment. The left LED on the

charger glows red.

• Insert a battery alone, not attached to the

phone, into the rear compartment. The right LED

on the charger glows red.

3. The color indication of the LEDs on the charger is

as listed below:

• Red: the battery is charging.

• Green: the battery is fully charged.

• Yellow: the battery is not correctly plugged in or

is operating at a too high or too low

temperature.

4. When charging is completed and the LED changes

to green, remove the battery or phone from the

charger and unplug the power cord of the charger

from the AC outlet.

Health and Safety

Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

Signals

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to

exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio

frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.

Government. These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on the safety standards that

were developed by independent scientific

organizations through periodic and through

evaluation of scientific studies.

The standards include a substantial safety margin

designed to assure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless phones employs

a unit of measurement known as Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit

recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by

the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of

tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety

to give additional protection for the public and to account for any

variations in measurements.

Health and Safety Information

119

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating

positions specified by the FCC with the phone

transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified power level, the

actual SAR level of the phone while operating can

be well below the maximum value. This is because

the phone is designed to operate at multiple power

levels so as to use only the power required to reach

the network. In general, the closer you are to a

wireless base station antenna, the lower the power

output of the phone.

Before a new model phone is available for sale to

the public, it must be tested and certified to the

FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by

the government-adopted requirement for safe

exposure. The tests are performed in positions and

locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as

required by the FCC for each model. While there

may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all

meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization

for this model phone with all reported SAR levels

evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model

phone is on file with the FCC and can be found

under the Display Grant section of http://

www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID

printed in the label on the phone.

FCC certification information for this model phone is

attached separation paper.

Health and Safety Information

120

For Body Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with

the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To

maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,

use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that

maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user's

body and the back of the phone, including the antenna,

whether extended or retracted. The use of belt-clips,

holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic

components in its assembly. The use of accessories that

do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with

FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

Precautions When Using Batteries

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged

in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network’s base

station, it uses less power; talk and standby time

are greatly affected by the signal strength on the

cellular network and the parameters set by the

network operator.

Health and Safety Information

121

•Battery charging time depends on the remaining

battery charge and the type of battery and

charger used. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will

gradually wear out. When the operation time

(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter

than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will

discharge itself over time.

•Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

recharge your battery only with Samsung-

approved chargers. When a charger is not in use,

disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave

the battery connected to a charger for more than

a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging

capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or

warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,

such as in a car in summer or winter conditions,

as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the

battery. Always try to keep the battery at room

temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery

may temporarily not work, even when the battery

is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly

affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-

circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin,

clip or pen) causes a direct connection between

the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips

on the battery), for example when you carry a

spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting

the terminals may damage the battery or the

object causing the short-circuiting.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of

batteries in a fire.

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability

to communicate by voice, almost anywhere,

anytime. But an important responsibility

accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one

that every user must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first

responsibility. When using your wireless phone

behind the wheel of a car, practice good common

sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place your

call without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If

possible, add an extra layer of convenience and

safety to your wireless phone with one of the

many hands-free accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.

Be able to access your wireless phone without

removing your eyes from the road. If you get an

incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your

voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know you

are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in

heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can

be hazardous.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving. Jotting down a To Do list or

flipping through your phonebook takes your

attention away from your primary responsibility,

driving safely.

Health and Safety Information

123

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,

place calls when you are not moving or before

pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your

car will be stationary. If you need to make a call

while moving, dial only a few numbers, check

the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make the

people with whom you are talking aware that

you are driving and suspend conversations that

have the potential to divert your attention from

the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the

emergency number in the case of fire, traffic

accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it

is a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime in

progress or other serious emergency where

lives are in danger, call the emergency number,

as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number when

necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle

posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic

signal, a minor traffic accident where no one

appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be

stolen, call roadside assistance or any other

special non-emergency wireless number.

Health and Safety Information

124

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force

in any area and always switch off your phone

whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may

cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to

another device, read its user’s guide for detailed

safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible

products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,

users are advised that for the satisfactory operation

of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it

is recommended that the equipment should only be

used in the normal operating position (held to your

ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from

radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain

electronic equipment may not be shielded against

the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult

the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm

(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone

is switched on

• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket

• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize potential interference

If you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.

Health and Safety Information

125

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with

some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may wish to consult your hearing

aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,

consult the manufacturer of your device to

determine if it is adequately shielded from external

RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you

in obtaining this information. Switch off your phone

in health care facilities when any regulations posted

in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or

health care facilities may be using equipment that

could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Switch off your phone in any facility where posted

notices require you to do so.

Health and Safety Information

126

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs

and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause

an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even

death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a

refueling point (service station). Users are

reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the

use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage

and distribution areas), chemical plants or where

blasting operations are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are

often but not always clearly marked. They include

below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage

facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas

(such as propane or butane), areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust

or metal powders, and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

engine.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using

radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well

as user-programmed functions, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore,

you should never rely solely on any wireless phone

for essential communications (medical

emergencies, for example).

Health and Safety Information

127

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone

must be switched on and in a service area with

adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not

be possible on all wireless phone networks or when

certain network services and/or phone features are

in use. Check with local service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2. Key in the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 999 or other official

emergency number). Emergency numbers vary

by location.

3. Press the key.

If certain features are in use (call barring, for

example), you may first need to deactivate those

features before you can make an emergency call.

Consult this document and your local cellular

service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give

all the necessary information as accurately as

possible. Remember that your phone may be the

only means of communication at the scene of an

accident; do not cut off the call until given

permission to do so.

Health and Safety Information

A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless

Phone Use

TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S. TODAY

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE COMBINATION

OF CONVENIENCE, SAFETY AND VALUE DELIVERED

BY THE WIRELESS TELEPHONE. QUITE SIMPLY, THE

WIRELESS PHONE GIVES PEOPLE THE POWERFUL

ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE BY VOICE-ALMOST

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME-WITH THE BOSS, WITH A

CLIENT, WITH THE KIDS, WITH EMERGENCY

PERSONNEL OR EVEN WITH THE POLICE. EACH

YEAR, AMERICANS MAKE BILLIONS OF CALLS FROM

THEIR WIRELESS PHONES, AND THE NUMBERS ARE

RAPIDLY GROWING.

But an important responsibility accompanies those

benefits, one that every wireless phone user must

uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first

responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable

tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all

times while driving a motor vehicle-whether on the

phone or not. The basic lessons are ones we all

learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness,

caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of

basic common sense-keep your head up, keep your

eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and

watch out for other drivers. It requires obeying all

traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed

limit. It means using seat belts and requiring other

passengers to do the same.

Appendix B: Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless

135

But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a

little more. This brochure is a call to wireless phone

users everywhere to make safety their first priority

when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless

telecommunications is keeping us in touch,

simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies

and providing opportunities to help others in need.

When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety

is your most important call.

Wireless Phone “Safety Tips”

Below are safety tips to follow while driving and

using a wireless phone which should be easy to

remember:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features

such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your

instruction manual and learn to take advantage of

valuable features most phones offer, including

automatic redial and memory. Also, work to

memorize the phone keypad so you can use the

speed dial function without taking your attention

off the road.

2. When available, use a hands free device. A

number of hands free wireless phone accessories

are readily available today. Whether you choose

an installed mounted device for your wireless

phone or a speaker phone accessory, take

advantage of these devices if available to you.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.

Make sure you place your wireless phone within

easy reach and where you can grab it without

removing your eyes from the road. If you get an

incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,

let your voice mail answer it for you.

Appendix B: Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless

136

4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving

conditions or situations. Let the person you are

speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous

weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can

be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,

your first responsibility is to pay attention to the

road.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving. If you are reading an address book

or business card, or writing a “to do” list while

driving a car, you are not watching where you are

going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a

dangerous situation because you are reading or

writing and not paying attention to the road or

nearby vehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,

place calls when you are not moving or before

pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before

you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your

calls with times you may be stopped at a stop

sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you

need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip-

dial only a few numbers, check the road and your

mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Stressful

or emotional conversations and driving do not

mix-they are distracting and even dangerous

when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make

people you are talking with aware you are driving

and if necessary, suspend conversations which

have the potential to divert your attention from

the road.

Appendix B: Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless

137

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your

wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you

can own to protect yourself and your family in

dangerous situations-with your phone at your

side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1

or other local emergency number in the case of

fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical

emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your

wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a

perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in

your community. If you see an auto accident,

crime in progress or other serious emergency

where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local

emergency number, as you would want others to

do for you.

10.Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-

emergency assistance number when neceµssary.

Certain situations you encounter while driving

may require attention, but are not urgent enough

to merit a call for emergency services. But you

still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand.

If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no

serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor

traffic accident where no one appears injured or a

vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside

assistance or other special non-emergency

wireless number.

Careless, distracted individuals and people driving

irresponsibly represent a hazard to everyone on the

road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications

Industry Association and the wireless industry have

conducted educational outreach to inform wireless

phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers

and good citizens. As we approach a new century,

more and more of us will take advantage of the

benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to

the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive safely.

Wireless Phones

U.S. Food and Drug Administration

1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this

update?

The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held

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 energy (RF) because of the short distance

between the phone and the user s head. These RF

exposures are limited by Federal Communications

Commission safety guidelines that were developed

with the advice of 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 well within the FCC’s

compliance limits.

2. 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 energy (RF) in the

microwave range while being used. They also emit

very low levels of RF when in the stand-by 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 biological effects.

Some studies have suggested that some biological

effects may occur, but such findings have not been

confirmed by additional research. In some cases,

other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing

those studies, or in determining the reasons for

inconsistent results.

3. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of

wireless phones?

Under the law, 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 or medical devices. However, the

agency has authority to take action if wireless

phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy

(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such

a case, 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 no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify

FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless

phone industry to take a number of steps, including

the following:

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

140

Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any

RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for

device function; and

Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with

the best possible information on possible effects of

wireless phone use on human health

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the

federal agencies that have responsibility for different

aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at

the federal level. The following agencies belong to

this working group:

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Environmental Protection Agency

Federal Communications Commission

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

National Telecommunications and Information

Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some

interagency working group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless

phones with the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the

United States must comply with FCC safety

guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA

and other health agencies for safety questions about

wireless phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless

phone networks rely upon. While these base stations

operate at higher power than do the wireless phones

themselves, the RF exposures that people get from

these base stations are typically thousands of times

lower than those they can get from wireless phones.

Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the

safety questions discussed in this document.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

141

4. What is FDA doing to find out more about the

possible health effects of wireless phone RF?

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 to address important questions about the

effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

FDA has been a leading participant in the World

Health Organization International Electromagnetic

Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An

influential result of this work has been the

development of a detailed agenda of research needs

that has driven the establishment of new research

programs around the world. The Project has also

helped develop a series of public information

documents on EMF issues.

FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet

Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative

Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to

do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides

the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts

in government, industry, and academic

organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted

through contracts to independent investigators. The

initial research will include both laboratory studies

and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will

also include a broad assessment of additional

research needs in the context of the latest research

developments around the world.

5. 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 is—it is probably

very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding

even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps

to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy

(RF). 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 do 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.

6. 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 energy (RF), the

measures described above would apply to children

and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the

time of wireless phone use and increasing the

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

143

distance between the user and the RF source will

reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national

governments have advised that children be

discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For

example, the government in the United Kingdom

distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted that

no evidence exists that using a wireless phone

causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by

children was strictly precautionary; it was not based

on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

7. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce

risks from exposure to RF emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF

emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason

to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-

free kits can be used with wireless phones for

convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the

absorption of RF energy in the head because the

phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will

not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if

the phone is mounted against the waist or other part

of the body during use, then that part of the body

will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones

marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety

requirements regardless of whether they are used

against the head or against the body. Either

configuration should result in compliance with the

safety limit.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

144

8. Do wireless phone accessories that claim to

shield the head from RF radiation work?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF

emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason

to believe that accessories that claim to shield the

head from those emissions reduce risks. Some

products that claim to shield the user from RF

absorption use special phone cases, while others

involve nothing more than a metallic accessory

attached to the phone. Studies have shown that

these products generally do not work as advertised.

Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may

interfere with proper operation of the phone. The

phone may be forced to boost its power to

compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.

In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission

(FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that

claimed to protect wireless phone users from

radiation with making false and unsubstantiated

claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a

reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.

9. What about wireless phone interference with

medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones

can interact with some electronic devices. For this

reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method

to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of

implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from

wireless telephones. This test method is now part of

a standard sponsored by the Association for the

Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI).

The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device

manufacturers, and many other groups, was

completed in late 2000. This standard will allow

manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers

and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

145

FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from

handheld wireless phones and helped develop a

voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of

Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This

standard specifies test methods and performance

requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so

that no interference occurs when a person uses a

compatible phone and a compatible hearing aid at

the same time. This standard was approved by the

IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones

for possible interactions with other medical devices.

Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA

will conduct testing to assess the interference and

work to resolve the problem.

10.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 energy

(RF) 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

increased tumor development used animals that had

been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-

causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to

develop cancer in 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 don t know with certainty what the results of

such studies mean for human health.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless Phones

146

Three large epidemiology studies have been

published since December 2000. Between them, the

studies investigated any possible association

between the use of wireless phones and primary

brain cancer, gioma, meningioma, or 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 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.

11.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 animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one

exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that

is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 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.
