k 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 radiofrequency 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 produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s

compliance limits.
