58 Certification and safety information for the United States and countries using FCC standards
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at
all.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from
exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that handsfree kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of
RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other
hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the
body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF
energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the
head or against the body. Either configuration should result in
compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head
from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic
accessory attached to the phone.
Studies have shown that these products generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike "hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields" may
interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be
forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in
RF absorption.
Driving safety tips
Wireless phones give people the ability to communicate almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies
those benefits, one that every wireless phone user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
