from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the 
following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held 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 energy 
(RF) because of the short distance between the phone and 
the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal 
Communications Commission safety guidelines that 
were developed with the advice of 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
