3.  What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheld wireless phones with builtin 
antennas, often 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 safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal 
health and safety...

However, none of the studies can answer questions about longterm exposures, since 
the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
5.  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 is needed. Lifetime animal 
exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers...

input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA funded 
research is conducted through contracts with 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.
7.  How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can get by 
using my wireless phone?

test method uses a tissuesimulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test 
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of measurements made 
at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount 
of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. 
It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to 
determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

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.
11.  What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic 
devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure 
electromagnetic...

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost 
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless 
phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is your first 
responsibility. 
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,...

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...

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 911 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do 
for you.
10.  Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number 
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require...

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement 
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 
W/kg. * Tests for SAR 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 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....

*  In the United States 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.
*  Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.
