Always cover the receptacle
when not in use.
Don’t short-circuit the battery.
Metallic articles such as a coin,
paperclip or pen in your pocket
or bag or contact with sharp
objects including animal bites
may short-circuit the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal
strips on the battery) upon
moving. Short-circuit of the
terminal may damage the battery
and cause an explosion.

not liable for damage due to the
loss of data.
When you use the phone in
public places, set the ringtone to
vibration so you don't disturb
others.
Do not turn your phone on or
off when putting it to your ear.
Use accessories, such as
earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.

or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action
if wireless phones are shown to
emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy
at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, the 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.

actions, the FDA has urged the

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 subject of the safety
questions discussed in this

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 do not know with
certainty what the results of such
studies mean for human health.

6. What is the FDA doing to find
out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone
RF?
The 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 (RF)
energy.

FDA and the other federal health
and safety agencies. The FCC limit
for RF exposure from wireless
phones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National
Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The exposure

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.
