Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
•	Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the 
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
•	 Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power 
plug pin when it’s dirty.
•	 When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly connected. If not, it may 
cause excessive heat or fire.
•	 If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle 
of the phone (power...

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...

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...

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 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...

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 Radio Frequency energy 
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with...

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency 
energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a 
technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure 
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and 
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended 
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in 
the Human Body Due...

10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, 
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure 
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply 
to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of 
wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF 
source will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other...

For Your Safety169
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible 
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found 
to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to 
resolve the problem.
