What kinds of phones are the subject of thisupdate?The term wireless phone refers here to hand-heldwireless phones with built-in antennas, often calledcell, mobile, or PCS phones. These types of wirelessphones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user s head.These RF exposures are limited by FederalCommunications Commission safety guidelines thatwere developed with the advice of FDA and otherfederal health and safety agencies. When the phoneis located at greater distances from the user, theexposure to RF is drastically lower because aperson’s RF exposure decreases rapidly withincreasing distance from the source. The so-called“cordless phones,” which have a base unitconnected to the telephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower power levels, and thusproduce RF exposures well within the FCC’scompliance limits.2.
