Safety Guidelines

Tips on Efficient Operation

Pacemakers

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum separation of six

(6’) inches be maintained between a handheld

wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid

potential interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research by and recommendations

of Wireless Technology Research.

]

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily

when the phone is in use. Contact with the

antenna affects call quality and may cause

the phone to operate at a higher power

level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Persons with pacemakers:

Check the laws and regulations on the use of

wireless phones in the areas where you drive.

Always obey them. Also, if using your phone

while driving, please:

]

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than

six inches from their pacemaker when the

phone is turned ON;

]

Give full attention to driving - driving safely

is your first responsibility;

]

Should not carry the phone in a breast

pocket.

]

Use hands-free operation, if available;

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker

to minimize the potential for interference.

Pull off the road and park before making

or answering a call if driving conditions

so require.

If you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place, turn your

phone OFF immediately.

Electronic Devices

Hearing Aids

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded

from RF signals. However, certain electronic

equipment may not be shielded against the RF

signals from your wireless phone.

Some digital wireless phones may interfere

with some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may want to consult AT&T.

Safety Guidelines

Other Medical Devices

Posted Facilities

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center

for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer

Update on Mobile Phones.

2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the

safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not review

the safety of radiation-emitting consumer

products such as wireless phones before

they can be sold, as it does with new drugs

or medical devices. However, the agency

has authority to take action if wireless

phones are shown to emit radiofrequency

energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to

the user. In such a case, the FDA could

require the manufacturers of wireless

phones to notify users of the health hazard

and to repair, replace, or recall the phones

so that the hazard no longer exists.

1. Do wireless phones pose a health

hazard?

The available 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 radiofrequency

energy (RF) in the microwave range while

being used. They also emit very low levels

of RF when in the Home screen. Whereas

high levels of RF can produce health

effects (by heating tissue), exposure to

low level RF that does not produce heating

effects causes no known adverse health

effects. Many studies of low level RF

exposures have not found any biological

effects. Some studies have suggested

that some biological effects may occur,

but such findings have not been confirmed

by additional research. In some cases,

other researchers have had difficulty in

reproducing those studies, or in determining

Although the existing scientific data do not

justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has

urged the wireless phone industry to take a

number of steps, including the following:

]

Support needed research into possible

biological effects of RF of the type

emitted by wireless phones;

group activities, as well.

Cooperate in providing users of

wireless phones with the best possible

information on possible effects of

wireless phone use on human health.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities

for wireless phones with the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). All

phones that are sold in the United States

must comply with FCC safety guidelines

that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on

the FDA and other health agencies for

safety questions about wireless phones.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working

group of the federal agencies that have

responsibility for different aspects of RF

safety to ensure coordinated efforts at

the federal level. The following agencies

belong to this working group:

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.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject

of this update?

4. What are the results of the research

done already?

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

radiofrequency energy (RF) 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.

The research done thus far has produced

conflicting results, and many studies have

suffered from flaws in their research

methods. Animal experiments investigating

the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)

exposures characteristic of wireless phones

have yielded conflicting results that often

cannot be repeated in other laboratories.

A few animal studies, however, have

suggested that low levels of RF could

accelerate the development of cancer in

laboratory animals. However, many of

the studies that showed increased tumor

development used animals that had been

genetically engineered or treated with

cancer causing chemicals so as to be pre-

disposed to develop cancer in the absence

of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the

animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day.

These conditions are not similar to the

conditions under which people use wireless

phones, so we don’t know with certainty

what the results of such studies mean for

human health. Three large epidemiology

studies have been published since

December 2000. Between them, the studies

102

Safety Guidelines

investigated any possible association

between the use of wireless phones and

primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma,

or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or

salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.

None of the studies demonstrated the

existence of any harmful health effects

from wireless phone RF exposures.

However, none of the studies can answer

questions about long-term exposures, since

the average period of phone use in these

studies was around three years.

answers about some health effects, such

as cancer. This is because the interval

between the time of exposure to a cancer-

causing agent and the time tumors develop

- if they do- may be many, many years. The

interpretation of epidemiological studies

is hampered by difficulties in measuring

actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of

wireless phones. Many factors affect this

measurement, such as the angle at which

the phone is held, or which model of phone

is used.

5. What research is needed to decide

whether RF exposure from wireless

phones poses a health risk?

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more

about the possible health effects of

wireless phone RF?

A combination of laboratory studies and

epidemiological studies of people actually

using wireless phones would provide some

of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal

exposure studies could be completed in a

few years. However, very large numbers

of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect

if one exists. Epidemiological studies can

provide data that is directly applicable

to human populations, but 10 or more

years follow-up may be needed to provide

The FDA is working with the U.S. National

Toxicology Program and with groups

of investigators around the world to

ensure that high priority animal studies

are conducted to address important

questions about the effects of exposure

to radiofrequency energy (RF). The FDA

has been a leading participant in the

World Health Organization International

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since

its inception in 1996. An influential result

of this work has been the development of a

103

Safety Guidelines

detailed agenda of research needs that has

driven the establishment of new research

programs around the world. The project

has also helped develop a series of public

information documents on EMF issues. The

FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications

& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal

Cooperative Research and Development

Agreement (CRADA) to do research on

wireless phone safety. The FDA provides

the scientific oversight, obtaining input

from experts in government, industry,

and academic organizations. CTIA-funded

research is conducted through contracts

with independent investigators. The initial

research will include both laboratory

studies and studies of wireless phone

users. The CRADA will also include a

broad assessment of additional research

needs in the context of the latest research

developments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much radio

frequency energy exposure I can get

by using my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United States must

comply with Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio

frequency energy (RF) exposures. The FCC

established these guidelines in consultation

with the FDA and the other federal health

and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF

exposure from wireless telephones is set

at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6

watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC

limit is consistent with the safety standards

developed by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the

National Council on Radiation Protection

and Measurement. The exposure limit takes

into consideration the body’s ability to

remove heat from the tissues that absorb

energy from the wireless phone and is set

well below levels known to have effects.

Manufacturers of wireless phones must

report the RF exposure level for each model

of phone to the FCC. The FCC website

(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives

directions for locating the FCC identification

number on your phone so you can find your

is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)

of matter. This measurement is used to

determine whether a wireless phone

8. What has the FDA done to measure the

radio frequency energy coming from

wireless phones?

9. What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radiofrequency energy

from my wireless phone?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical

standard for measuring the radio frequency

energy (RF) exposure from wireless

If there is a risk from these products - and

at this point we do not know that there is

- it is probably very small. But if you are

concerned about avoiding even potential

risks, you can take a few simple steps to

minimize your exposure to radiofrequency

energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives,

reducing the amount of time spent using a

wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If

you must conduct extended conversations

by wireless phone every day, you could

place more distance between your body

and the source of the RF, since the exposure

level drops off dramatically with distance.

For example, you could use a headset and

carry the wireless phone away from your

body or use a wireless phone connected to

a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data

test methodology for measuring the rate

at which RF is deposited in the heads of

wireless phone users. The test method
