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 - Samsung SCH-A570 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f5) (English) - Page 167

In such a case, 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. Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has - Samsung SCH-A570 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f5) (English) - Page 169

Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document. What are the results of the research done - Samsung SCH-A570 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f5) (English) - Page 170
