[ 104 ] Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless 
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the 
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to the suspension or the 
denial of telephone services to the offender, or it could result in legal 
action, or both scenarios could apply.

If certain features are in use (fixed dialing, restrict calls, and so on), you 
might first need to turn those features off before you can make an 
emergency call. Consult this guide and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary 
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone 
might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—
do not terminate the call until given...

[ 106 ] Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested 
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by 
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are 
performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on 
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value 
for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the 
ear is 1.19 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described...

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 make...

5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an 
address book or business card, or writing a to do list while driving a car, you are 
not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a 
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to 
the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving 
or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your...

 • A MESSAGE FROM THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG 
ADMINISTRATION 
CONSUMER UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES1. 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...

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group 
activities, as well.
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....

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...

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 technical 
standard for...

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 radiofrequency 
energy (RF), 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...
