“PCS” phones. These types of wireless 

phones can expose the user to measurable 

radio frequency energy (RF) because of the 

short distance between the phone and the 

user's head. These RF exposures are limited 

by Federal Communications Commission 

safety guidelines that were developed with 

the advice of FDA and other federal health 

and safety agencies. When the phone is 

located at greater distances from the user, 

the exposure to RF is drastically lower 

because a person's RF exposure decreases 

rapidly with increasing distance from the 

source. The so-called “cordless phones,” 

which have a base unit connected to the 

telephone wiring in a house, typically 

operate at far lower power levels, and thus 

produce RF exposures well within the FCC's 

compliance limits.

Do wireless phones pose a health 

hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not 

show that any health problems are 

associated with using wireless phones. There 

is no proof, however, that wireless phones 

are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit 

low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in 

the microwave range while being used. They 

also emit very low levels of RF when in the 

stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF 

can produce health effects (by heating 

tissue), exposure to low level RF that does 

not produce heating effects causes no 

known adverse health effects. Many studies 

of low level RF exposures have not found 

any biological effects. Some studies have 

suggested that some biological effects may 

occur, but such findings have not been 

confirmed by additional research. In some 

cases, other researchers have had difficulty 

in reproducing those studies, or in 

determining the reasons for inconsistent 

results.

What is FDA's role concerning the 

safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the 

safety of radiation-emitting consumer 

products such as wireless phones before 

they can be sold, as it does with new drugs 

or medical devices. However, the agency has 

authority to take action if wireless phones 

are shown to emit radio frequency energy 

(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. 

In such a case, FDA could require the
