User Guide
For Your Safety
distance between the
user and the RF source
will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored
by other national
governments have
advised that children
be discouraged from
using wireless phones
at all. For example,
the government in
the United Kingdom
distributed leaflets
containing such a
recommendation in
December 2000.
They noted that no
evidence exists that
using a wireless phone
causes brain tumors or
other ill effects. Their
recommendation to
limit wireless phone use
by children was strictly
precautionary; it was
not based on scientific
evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless
phone interference
with medical equip-
ment?
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy from wireless
phones can interact
with some electronic
devices. For this reason,
the FDA helped develop
a detailed test method
to measure Electro
Magnetic Interference
(EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This
test method is now part
of a standard sponsored
by the Association for
the Advancement of
Medical Instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft,
a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and
