							Health and Safety Information       123
Section 12: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using 
your Galaxy Player. The terms “GALAXY” or “mobile device” are 
used in this section to refer to your Galaxy Player. 
Read this 
information before using your mobile device.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Although GALAXY is not a cell phone, it can operate on the same 
network as cell phones and can use the same Radio Frequency 
(RF) signals to communicate with the network as a cell phone. 
Therefore, although the following information refers specifically 
to RF exposure from wireless phones, it may apply similarly to 
GALAXY when it is being used on a cell phone network.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published 
information for consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) 
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the 
following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause 
cancer or other serious health hazards. The weight of scientific 
evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over 
the past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy 
emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have reported 
biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have 
failed to be replicated. The majority of studies published have 
failed to show an association between exposure to radio 
frequency from a cell phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the 
microwave frequency range. They also emit RF at substantially 
reduced time intervals when in the stand-by 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.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be 
confused with the effects from other types of electromagnetic 
energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in 
X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization 
is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal 
locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage 
biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, 
including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great  
						

							124
enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, 
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of 
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation 
(heat), and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with 
relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can 
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two 
areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly 
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood 
flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between RF 
and cer tain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, 
attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies that have 
shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the 
weight of scientific evidence does not show an association 
between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and 
adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has 
supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge. 
Some of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine 
whether cell phones increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A 
report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology 
(June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 
people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar 
number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain 
cancer. In this study, most people had no increased risk of brain 
cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use 
of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every 
day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in 
brain cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and 
errors prevented any conclusions being drawn from this data. 
Additional information about Interphone can be found at 
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not 
answer all questions about cell phone safety. Additional research 
is being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to 
monitor developments in this field.
Inter national Cohor t Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring 
of a large group of people to determine if there are any health 
issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy  
						

							Health and Safety Information       125
from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow 
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 
30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study can be 
found at
 http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html.
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields 
in Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship 
between exposure to radio frequency energy from 
communication technologies including cell phones and brain 
cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center 
study involving 14 European and non-European countries. 
Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at
 
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39.
Sur veillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program 
of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer 
statistics in the United States to detect any change in rates of 
new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for 
brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use 
has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 
and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional information about SEER can be found at 
 
http://seer.cancer.gov/.
Cell Phone Industr y Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory 
actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a 
number of steps, including the following:
Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for 
the type of signal emitted by cell phones;
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the 
user; and
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current 
information on cell phone use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies 
such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 
(IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards 
continue to adequately protect the public.
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other 
Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy 
(RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not know that 
there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are concerned  
						

							126
about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple 
steps to minimize your RF exposure.
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your 
head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and 
various types of body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and 
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy 
absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone 
is held away from the head in the users hand or in approved 
body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are 
required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements when 
used against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free 
kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience 
and comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you 
want to use your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from RF 
Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories 
which claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce 
risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF 
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing 
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies 
have shown that these products generally do not work as 
advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields” 
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may 
be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an 
increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of 
cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers. 
The steps adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to 
children and teenagers as well.
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the 
head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have 
advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones at 
all. For example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom
