•  Talking on your phone for a long 
period of time may reduce call 
quality due to heat generated 
during use.
•   When the phone is not used for 
a long period time, store it in a 
safe place with the power cord 
unplugged.
•   Using the phone in proximity to 
receiving equipment (i.e., TV or 
radio) may cause interference to 
the phone.
•   Do not use the phone if the 
antenna is damaged. If a 
damaged antenna contacts 
skin, it may cause a slight burn.

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...

4.  What are the results of the 
research done already?
The research done thus far has 
produced conflicting results, 
and many studies have suffered 
from flaws in their research 
methods. Animal experiments 
investigating the effects of Radio 
Frequency (RF) energy exposures 
characteristic of wireless phones 
have yielded conflicting results that 
often cannot be repeated in other 
laboratories. A few animal studies, 
however, have suggested that 
low levels of RF could accelerate

but ten or more years follow-up 
may be needed to provide answers 
about some health effects, such as 
cancer. This is because the interval 
between the time of exposure to 
a cancer-causing agent and the 
time tumors develop — if they do 
— may be many, many years. The 
interpretation of epidemiological 
studies is hampered by difficulties 
in measuring actual RF exposure 
during day-to-day use of wireless 
phones. Many factors affect this 
measurement, such as the angle at 
which the phone is...

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 Federal 
Communications Commission 
(FCC) guidelines that limit Radio 
Frequency (RF) energy exposures. 
The FCC established these 
guidelines in consultation with 
the 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...

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.

Frequency energy from my 
wireless phone?

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.
