battery from the phone,
reinstall it, and turn the phone

Actual battery life will depend
on network configuration,

General Notice 
Using a damaged battery or
placing a battery in your

magnetic components such as
a credit card, phone card,
bank book or subway ticket
near your phone. The
magnetism of the phone may

2. What is the FDA’s role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones? 
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of
radiationemitting 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 radiofrequency energy (RF)at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, the FDA...

called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’
phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency
energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and
the user’s head. These RF
exposures are limited by FCC

interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF
exposure during daytoday 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.
