3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
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.
