(FCC). All phones that are sold with built-in antennas, often in the United States must comply called 'cell', 'mobile', or 'PCS' with FCC safety guidelines that phones. These types of wireless limit RF exposure. The FCC relies phones can expose the user to on the FDA and other health measurable radiofrequency agencies for safety questions energy (RF) because of the short about wireless phones. distance between the phone and Safety Guidelines 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? 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 The term 'wireless phone' refers RF exposures far below the FCC here to handheld wireless phones safety limits. 79
