•  Use the correct adapter for your  phone when using the battery 
pack charger abroad.
•  Talking on your phone for a long  period of time may reduce call 
quality due to heat generated 
during use.
•  Do not use harsh chemicals  (such as alcohol, benzene, 
thinners, etc.) or detergents 
to clean your phone. This 
could cause a fire. Do not

•  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.

•  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.

Although the existing scientific 
data do not justify FDA regulatory 
actions, the FDA has urged the 
wireless phone industry to take 
a number of steps, including the 
following:
•  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...

3.  What kinds of phones are the 
subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers 
here to handheld 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 (RF) energy 
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...

studies investigated any possible 
association between the use of 
wireless phones and primary brain 
cancer, glioma, 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...

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. Again, the scientific data 
does 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.

The 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. 
The FDA continues...
