The FDA publication includes thefollowing information:What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wirelessphones with built-in antennas, often called "cell,""mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless phonescan expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy(RF) because of the short distance between the phone andthe user's head.
