2. What is the FDA’s role concerning
the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation
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 radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the standby mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low level RF
emitting consumer products such
as wireless phones before they can
be sold, as it does with new drugs
or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action
if wireless phones are shown to
emit radio frequency energy (RF)
at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, the FDA
could require the manufacturers
of wireless phones to notify users
of the health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the phones so
69
Safety Guidelines
that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take
a number of steps, including the
following:
• Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
• Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
• National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
• Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of
wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility
for different aspects of RF safety to
ensure coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
The 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. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health agencies
for safety questions about wireless
phones.
The 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
themselves, the RF exposures that
people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times
lower than those they can get from
wireless phones. Base stations

3. What kinds of phones are the
subject 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
phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency energy
(RF) because of the short distance
between the phone and the user’s
head. These RF exposures are
limited by FCC safety guidelines
that were developed with the
advice of the FDA and other
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 the development
of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies
that showed increased tumor
development used animals that
had been genetically engineered
or treated with cancer causing
chemicals so as to be predisposed
to develop cancer in the absence
of RF exposure. Other studies
exposed the animals to RF for
up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not similar to the
federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at
greater distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person’s RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The
so-called ‘cordless phones,’ which
have a base unit connected to
the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce

conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don’t know
with certainty what the results
of such studies mean for human
health. Three large epidemiology
studies have been published
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 directly
applicable to human populations,
but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answers
about some health effects, such
as cancer.
since December 2000. Between
them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the
use of wireless phones and primary
brain cancer, glioma, meningioma,
or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the
brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or
other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of
any harmful health effects from
wireless phone RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can
answer questions about longterm
exposures, since the average
period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
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 held, or which
model of phone is used.

energy (RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the World
Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996.
An influential result of this work
has been the development of a
detailed agenda of research needs
that has driven the establishment
of new research programs
around the world. The project
has also helped develop a series
of public information documents
on EMF issues. The FDA and the
Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have
a formal Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless
phone safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining
input from experts in government,
industry, and academic
organizations. CTIAfunded
research is conducted through
contracts with independent
investigators. The initial research
will include both laboratory studies
and studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also include
a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of
the latest research developments
around the world.
7. How can I find out how much
radiofrequency 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
radiofrequency energy (RF)
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
73
Safety Guidelines
wireless telephones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with the
safety standards developed by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National
Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat from
the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and is
set well below levels known to
have effects. 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.
developing a technical standard
for measuring the radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposure from
wireless phones and other wireless
handsets with the participation
and leadership of FDA scientists
and engineers. The standard,
‘Recommended Practice for
Determining the Spatial- Peak
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,’ sets
forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the
rate at which RF is deposited
in the heads of wireless phone
users. The test method uses a
tissuesimulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different
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

do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure
from these products, you can use
measures like those described
above to reduce your RF exposure
from wireless phone use.
9. What steps can I take to reduce
my exposure to radiofrequency
energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these
products - and at this point we
do not know that there is - it is
probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few
simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more
distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since
the exposure level drops off
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 by other national
governments have advised that
children be discouraged from
using wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in
the United Kingdom distributed
leaflets containing such a
dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote
antenna. Again, the scientific data

to ensure that cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI. The FDA has
tested hearing aids for interference
from handheld wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary
standard sponsored by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and
performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs
when a person uses a ‘compatible’
phone and a ‘compatible’ hearing
aid at the same time. This standard
was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor
the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur,
the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to
resolve the problem.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from
wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this
reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association
for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final
draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers,
and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your
first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember
the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone
and its features such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your
4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you
are speaking with know you are

weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow and ice can be hazardous,
but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,

attention to the road.
may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel of
a car. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to
forward your attention from the
road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for
help. Your wireless phone is one of
the greatest tools you can own to
protect yourself and your family
in dangerous situations — with
your phone at your side, help is
only three numbers away. Dial 911
or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!
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 is
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 calls before
you begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times you
may be stopped at a stop sign, red
light or otherwise stationary. But
if you need to dial while driving,
follow this simple tip — dial only a
few numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
9. Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “Good
Samaritan” in your community. If
you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious

Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
79

the body, as described in this user’s
manual, is 0.51 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ
among phones models, depending
upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there
may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the
fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID BEJGT350.
Although SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. Because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple
power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
