RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSIONS
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio
frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses
commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless devices.
ARE WIRELESS PHONES AND DEVICES SAFE?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency (“RF”)
energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued
a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states
that, while research is ongoing, “available scientific evidence—including World
Health Organization [“WHO”] findings [in the Interphone study] released May 17,
2010—shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form
of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones.” The FDA also cites
a separate National Cancer Institute program finding that, despite the dramatic
increase in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did not increase between 1987
and 2005. You can access the FDA website at
