The term “wireless phone” refers
here to handheld wireless phones with
built-in antennas, often called “cell”,
“mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to
measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy
because of the short distance between the
phone and the user’s head. These RF
exposures are limited by FCC safety
guidelines that were developed with the
advice of the FDA and other federal health
and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user,
the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the
source.
The so-called “cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically
operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC
safety limits.
5. What is the FDA doing to find out more
about the possible health effects of wireless
phone RF?
