Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can - Samsung SGH-T309B | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f4) (English) - Page 162

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 biological effects of RF of the type emitted by - Samsung SGH-T309B | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f4) (English) - Page 163
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.

What are the results of the research done - Samsung SGH-T309B | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f4) (English) - Page 164
poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed - Samsung SGH-T309B | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f4) (English) - Page 165
. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the 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. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators - Samsung SGH-T309B | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.f4) (English) - Page 166
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.
