FDA Consumer Update
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 radiofrequency
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 radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC fo
r each model.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is

: PCS1900(0.768W/kg:GSM850)
and when worn
on the body, as described in this user s manual, is 0.

. (Body-worn measurements differ among
phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated an in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
