*  American National Standards 
Institute; National Council 
on Radiation Protection and 
Measurements; International 
Commission on Non-Ionizing 
Radiation Protection 
Those standards were based 
on comprehensive and periodic 
evaluations of the relevant 
scientific literature. For example, 
over 120 scientists, engineers, 
and physicians from universities, 
government health agencies, and 
industry reviewed the available 
body of research to develop the 
ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies 
with the FCC guidelines (and those 
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an 
approved replacement antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, 
modifications, or attachments 
could damage the phone and may 
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the 
phone as you would any other 
telephone with the antenna 
pointed up and over your shoulder. Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most 
efficiently: 
Don’t touch the antenna 
unnecessarily when the phone is 
in use. Contact with the antenna 
affects call quality and may cause 
the phone to operate at a higher 
power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment 
is shielded from RF signals. 
However, certain electronic 
equipment may not be shielded 
against the RF signals from your 
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers 
Association recommends that a 
minimum separation of six (6) 
inches be maintained between 
a handheld wireless phone and 
a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. 
These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent 
research by and recommendations 
of Wireless Technology Research. 
Persons with pacemakers:
•  Should ALWAYS keep the phone 
more than six (6) inches from  
						

							Safety
100  
their pacemaker when the 
phone is turned ON;
•  Should not carry the phone in a  breast pocket;
•  Should use the ear opposite  the pacemaker to minimize the 
potential for interference;
•  Should turn the phone  OFF immediately if there is 
any reason to suspect that 
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may 
interfere with some hearing aids. In 
the event of such interference, you 
may want to consult your service 
provider (or call the customer 
service line to discuss alternatives). 
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal 
medical device, 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. 
Health Care Facilities
Turn 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 use equipment that 
could be sensitive to external RF 
energy.
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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility 
where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using 
your phone while in the air. Switch 
OFF your phone before boarding 
an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting 
operations, turn your phone OFF 
when in a “blasting area” or in 
areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio”. Obey all signs and 
instructions. 
						

							  101
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere are often, but not 
always marked clearly. Potential 
areas may include: fueling areas 
(such as gasoline stations); below 
deck on boats; fuel or 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an 
Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. 
DO NOT place objects, including 
either installed or portable wireless 
equipment, in the area over the air 
bag or in the air bag deployment 
area. If in-vehicle wireless 
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update
 The U.S. Food and 
Drug Administration’s 
Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health Consumer 
Update on Mobile Phones: 
						

							  107
1.  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 
(RF) energy in the microwave 
range while being used. They also 
emit very low levels of RF when in 
standby 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. 2.  
What is the FDA's role 
concerning the safety of 
wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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 (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.
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 
						

							Safety
10 8   
•  Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best 
possible information on possible 
effects of wireless phone use on 
human health.
The 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
•  Occupational Safety and Health  Administration
• National Telecommunications  and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health 
participates in some interagency 
working group activities, as well.
The 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. The FCC  relies on the FDA and other health 
agencies for safety questions 
about wireless phones.
The 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 subject of 
the safety questions discussed in 
this document.
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 
safety agencies. When the phone
