Consumer Information on Device

1. What kinds of devices are the subjects of

this update?

The term ”wireless phone” refers here to handheld

wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called

”cell”, ”mobile”, or ”PCS” phones. These types of

wireless devices can expose the user to measurable

radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short

distance between the device and the user’s head.

These RF exposures are limited by Federal

Communications Commission safety guidelines that

were developed with the advice of FDA and other

federal health and safety agencies.

When the device is located at greater distances from

the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower

because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly
