Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it t er and receiver.
I t is designed and m anufact ured not t o exceed t he
em ission lim it s for exposure t o radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by t he Federal Com m unicat ions
Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S. Governm ent. These
lim it s are part of com prehensive guidelines and

st andards t hat were developed by independent
scient ific organizat ions t hrough periodic and t hrough

The st andards include a subst ant ial safet y m argin
designed t o assure t he safet y of all persons,
regardless of age and healt h.
The exposure st andard for wireless phones em ploys a
unit of m easurem ent known as Specific Absorpt ion

1.6W/ kg. *
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing
posit ions specified by t he FCC wit h t he phone
t ransm it t ing at it s highest cert ified power level in all
t est ed frequency bands.
Alt hough t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone
while operat ing can be well below t he m axim um value.
This is because t he phone is designed t o operat e at

* I n t he U.S. and Canada, t he SAR lim it for m obile phones
used by t he public is 1.6 wat t s/ kg ( W/ kg) averaged
over one gram of t issue. The st andard incorporat es a
subst ant ial m argin of safet y t o give addit ional

have not found any biological effect s. Som e st udies
have suggest ed t hat som e biological effect s m ay
occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed by
addit ional research. I n som e cases, ot her researchers
have had difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in
det erm ining t he reasons for inconsist ent result s.

3. What is FDA’s role concerning t he safet y of wireless
phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of
radiat ion em it t ing consum er product s such as wireless
phones before t hey can be sold, as it does wit h new
drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown
t o em it radio frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is
hazardous t o t he user. I n such a case, FDA could
require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or
recall t he phones so t hat t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA
regulat ory act ions, FDA has urged t he wireless phone
indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps, including t he
following:
• Support needed research int o possible biological
effect s of RF of t he t ype em it t ed by wireless
phones;
•
•
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he
federal agencies t hat have responsibilit y for different
aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed effort s at
t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his
working group:
• Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safet y and
Healt h
• Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission
• Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
• Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion
Adm inist rat ion
• The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Healt h part icipat es in
som e int eragency working group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless
phones wit h t he Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
( FCC) . All phones t hat are sold in t he Unit ed St at es
m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies
for safet y quest ions about wireless phones.
Health and safety information
Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes
any RF exposure t o t he user t hat is not necessary
for device funct ion; and
Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones
wit h t he best possible inform at ion on possible
effect s of wireless phone use on hum an healt h
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions t hat t he wireless
phone net works rely upon. While t hese base st at ions
operat e at higher power t han do t he wireless phones
t hem selves, t he RF exposures t hat people get from
t hese base st at ions are t ypically t housands of t im es
lower t han t hose t hey can get from wireless phones.
Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect of t he
safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent .
4. What is FDA doing t o find out m ore about t he
possible healt h effect s of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working wit h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology
Program and wit h groups of invest igat ors around t he
world t o ensure t hat high priorit y anim al st udies are
conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) .
33
Health and safety information
FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Healt h
Organizat ion I nt ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields
( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in 1996. An influent ial
result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he
est ablishm ent of new research program s around t he
world. The Proj ect has also helped develop a series of
public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and t he Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet
Associat ion ( CTI A) have a form al Cooperat ive
Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o do
research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he
scient ific oversight , obt aining input from expert s in
governm ent , indust ry, and academ ic organizat ions.
CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough cont ract s
t o independent invest igat ors. The init ial research will
include bot h laborat ory st udies and st udies of wireless
phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessm ent of addit ional research needs in t he
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around
t he world.

5. What st eps can I t ake t o reduce m y exposure t o
radio frequency energy from m y wireless phone?
I f t here is a risk from t hese product s—and at t his point
we do not know t hat t here is—it is probably very
sm all. But if you are concerned about avoiding even
pot ent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps t o
m inim ize your exposure t o radio frequency energy
( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or in how m uch exposure
a person receives, reducing t he am ount of t im e spent
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
I f you m ust conduct ext ended conversat ions by
wireless phone every day, you could place m ore
dist ance bet ween your body and t he source of t he RF,
since t he exposure level drops off dram at ically wit h
dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset and
carry t he wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ot e ant enna
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat
wireless phones are harm ful. But if you are concerned
about t he RF exposure from t hese product s, you can
use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
6. What about children using wireless phones?
Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional
governm ent s have advised t hat children be
discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For
exam ple, t he governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom
dist ribut ed leaflet s cont aining such a recom m endat ion
in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s
t hat using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or
ot her ill effect s. Their recom m endat ion t o lim it
wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence
t hat any healt h hazard exist s.
7. Do hands- free kit s for wireless phones reduce risks
from exposure t o RF em issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF
em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o
believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce risks. Hands- free
kit s can be used wit h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion of
RF energy in t he head because t he phone, which is t he
source of t he RF em issions, will not be placed against
t he head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of t he body during use,
t hen t hat part of t he body will absorb m ore RF energy.
Wireless phones m arket ed in t he U.S. are required t o
m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her
configurat ion should result in com pliance wit h t he
safet y lim it .
Health and safety information
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o
users of wireless phones, including children and
t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps t o lower exposure
t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures
described above would apply t o children and
t eenagers using wireless phones. Reducing t he t im e of
wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
bet ween t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Do wireless phone accessories t hat claim t o shield t he
head from RF radiat ion work?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF
em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o
believe t hat accessories t hat claim t o shield t he head
35
Health and safety information
from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s
t hat claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use
special phone cases, while ot hers involve not hing
m ore t han a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he phone.
St udies have shown t hat t hese product s generally do
not work as advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese
so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere wit h proper operat ion
of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF
absorpt ion. I n February 2002, t he Federal t rade
Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo com panies t hat sold
devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed
claim s. According t o FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a
reasonable basis t o subst ant iat e t heir claim .
8. What about wireless phone int erference wit h
m edical equipm ent ?
36
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can
int eract wit h som e elect ronic devices. For t his reason,
FDA helped develop a det ailed t est m et hod t o m easure
elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless
t elephones. This t est m et hod is now part of a st andard
sponsored by t he Associat ion for t he Advancem ent of
Medical inst rum ent at ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and
m any ot her groups, was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This
st andard will allow m anufact urers t o ensure t hat
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from
wireless phone EMI .
FDA has t est ed hearing aids for int erference from
handheld wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronic Engineers ( I EEE) . This
st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so
t hat no int erference occurs when a person uses a
com pat ible phone and a com pat ible hearing aid at t he
sam e t im e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in
2000.
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing
result s, and m any st udies have suffered from flaws in
t heir research m et hods. Anim al experim ent s
invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy
( RF) exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have
yielded conflict ing result s t hat oft en cannot be
repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al st udies,
however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could
accelerat e t he developm ent of cancer in laborat ory
anim als. However, m any of t he st udies t hat showed
increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer
causing chem icals so as t o be pre- disposed t o develop
cancer in t he absence of RF exposure. Ot her st udies
exposed t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hours per day.
These condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions
under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t
know wit h cert aint y what t he result s of such st udies
m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published
since Decem ber 2000. Bet ween t hem , t he st udies
invest igat ed any possible associat ion bet ween t he use
of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, giom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain
or salivary gland, leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of
t he st udies dem onst rat ed t he exist ence of any harm ful
healt h effect s from wireless phone RF exposures.
However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions
about long- t erm exposures, since t he average period
of phone use in t hese st udies was around t hree years.
10.What research is needed t o decide whet her RF
exposure from wireless phones poses a healt h
risk?
Health and safety information
FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones
for possible int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices.
Should harm ful int erference be found t o occur, FDA
will conduct t est ing t o assess t he int erference and
work t o resolve t he problem .
9. What are t he result s of t he research done already?
A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and
epidem iological st udies of people act ually using
wireless phones would provide som e of t he dat a t hat
are needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be
com plet ed in a few years. However, very large
37
Health and safety information
num bers of anim als would be needed t o provide
reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one
exist s. Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is
direct ly applicable t o hum an populat ions, but 10 or
m ore years follow- up m ay be needed t o provide
answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer.
This is because t he int erval bet ween t he t im e of
exposure t o a cancer- causing agent and t he t im e
t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret at ion of epidem iological st udies is
ham pered by difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF
exposure during day- t o- day use of wireless phones.
Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he
angle at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of
phone is used.

The wireless t elephone indust ry has developed rat ings
for som e of t heir m obile phones, t o assist hearing
device users in finding phones t hat m ay be com pat ible
wit h t heir hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rat ed. Phones t hat are rat ed have t he rat ing on t heir

The rat ings are not guarant ees. Result s will vary
depending on t he user ’s hearing device and hearing
loss. I f your hearing device happens t o be vulnerable
t o int erference, you m ay not be able t o use a rat ed
phone successfully. Trying out t he phone wit h your
