Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination 
of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, 
the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--
almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency 
personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans...

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...

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
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 radiofrequency 
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels 
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can...

[ 187 ]Appendix B Message from the FDA
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. FCC relies on FDA 
and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. 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...

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 are needed. Lifetime 
animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large 
numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting 
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is...

[ 189 ]Appendix B Message from the FDA
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model 
of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives 
directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find 
your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming 
from   wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a...

Kingdom distributed leaflets containing 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.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic...
