Careless, distracted individuals and people
driving irresponsibly represent a hazard to
everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular

users of their responsibilities as safe drivers
and good citizens. As we approach a new
century, more and more of us will take
advantage of the benefits of wireless
telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all
have a responsibility to drive safely.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your
phone safely when driving.”

1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?

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
