What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to
handheld 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 (RF) energy because of the short
distance between the phone and 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
