User's Manual

All phones that are sold in the United States must

comply with FCC safety guidelines that act to 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 are thus not the subject of the

safety questions discussed in this document.

2. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

Current 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 (RF) energy while

operating microwave ranges (which also emit very

low levels of RF when they are in standby mode).

While high levels of RF can produce health effects

(by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that

does not produce heating effects results in no known

adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF

exposures have not uncovered any biological effects.

Although some studies have suggested that some

biological effects may occur, such findings have not

been confirmed by additional research. In some

cases, other researchers have had difficulty in

reproducing those studies, and/or determining the
