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 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.*
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
90
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.
* 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.
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.
For Body Operation
For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with a Samsung-supplied or approved accessory
designated for this product or when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum distance from the body.
The minimum distance for this model phone from the body
is written in the FCC certification information. None
compliance with the above conditions may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more Information concerning exposure to radio
frequency signals, see the following websites:

Health and safety information
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.

Precautions When Using Batteries
•
•
•
•
•
92
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.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining
battery charge, the type of battery and the 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 shortcircuiting 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 shortcircuiting.
•
Dispose used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose batteries
in a fire.
•
•
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:
•
•
•
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.
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.
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.

Health and safety information
Road Safety
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.
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.
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.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may be distracting. Make the people to whom you
are talking aware that you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
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!
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 93
Health and safety information
•
in danger, call the emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
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.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch your phone off 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).
94
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.
Pacemakers
•
•
•
•
•
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
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 your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Posted Facilities
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.
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices
require you to do so.
Other Medical Devices
Switch your phone off 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.
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.
Health and safety information
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 your phone off 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.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Users are advised to switch the phone off 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 the areas
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.
95
Health and safety information
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks as well as userprogrammed 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).
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, 911 or other official emergency
number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
3. Press [
].
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.
96
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.
Other Important Safety Information
•
•
•
•
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or
install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty applicable to the device.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that
an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.

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, ANYTIMEWITH 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
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.
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.
Health and safety information
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.
101
Health and safety information
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.
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!
102
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 necessary.
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 brokendown vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic

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.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on 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
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.
Health and safety information
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone
safely when driving.”
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.
103
Health and safety information
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:
•
•
•
104
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.
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,
4. 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.
Health and safety information
3. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
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.
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
105
Health and safety information
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.
5. 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 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.
106
6. 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.
7. 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
8. 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.
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.
9. What are the results of the research done already?
Health and safety information
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.
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 107
Health and safety information
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.
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.
10. 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
108
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 cancercausing 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.
11. Which other federal agencies have responsibilities
related to potential RF health effects?

various sources can be obtained from the following
