Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation-
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 (RF) energy 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 that the hazard
no longer exists.

4. What are the results of the
research done already?
The research done thus far has
produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from
flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the
effects of Radio Frequency (RF)
energy 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.
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
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 pre-disposed
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 conditions under which
people use wireless phones, so we
do not know with certainty what the
results of such studies mean for
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
ten or more years follow-up may be
needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between

7. How can I find out how much
Radio Frequency energy exposure I
can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States
must comply with Federal

guidelines that limit Radio Frequency
(RF) energy 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 wireless phones is
set at a Specific Absorption Rate

9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to Radio Frequency 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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is
a key factor in how much exposure a
person receives, reducing the
8. What has the FDA done to
measure the Radio Frequency energy
coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF)
energy 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
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 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 does 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.
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 tissue-simulating 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

national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from

phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
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.

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.
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:
5.Don’t take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or
1.Get to know your wireless phone
and its features such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features
most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also,
work to memorize the phone
keypad so you can use the speed
dial function without taking your
attention off the road.
business card, or writing a “to-do”
list while driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going. It is
common sense. Do not 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
2.When available, use a hands-free
device. A number of hands-free

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.
10. Call roadside assistance or a
special wireless non-emergency
assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you
encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless phone
to lend a hand. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured or
a vehicle you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless
number.
7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that 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 divert your attention
from the road.
The above tips are meant as
general guidelines. Before
deciding to use your mobile
device while operating a vehicle,
it is recommended that you
consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other
regulations regarding such use.
Such laws or other regulations
may prohibit or otherwise
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’s a free call on your
wireless phone!
restrict the manner in which a
driver may use his or her phone
while operating a vehicle.
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
emergency where lives are in
danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.

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.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does

the government adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations

Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews
of the scientific literature related to
the biological effects of RF energy.
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back
of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0
cm) between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.79
inches (2.0 cm) must be maintained
between the user's body and the
back of the phone. Third-party belt-
clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
separation distance between the
user's body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested for
typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
The exposure limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is
a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit
incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection to
the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. 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 when tested for use at the ear
is 0.95 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user’s

may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe

addition, LG will not re-install or back-up any data, applications or
