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 urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following: • Support needed research into possible - Samsung SCH-A650 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.1.0) (English) - Page 121
discussed in this document. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term "wireless phones" refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called "cell," "mobile," or "PCS". These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency - Samsung SCH-A650 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.1.0) (English) - Page 122
exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December - Samsung SCH-A650 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.1.0) (English) - Page 123
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, phone is held, or which model of phone is used. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF? FDA is working with the U.S. Toxicology Program - Samsung SCH-A650 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.1.0) (English) - Page 124
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The project has also helped develop a series radio frequency energy exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?

with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about RF exposure from these products - Samsung SCH-A650 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.1.0) (English) - Page 127
energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.
