Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination 
of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, 
the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--
almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency 
personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from 
their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless 
phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A 
wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at 
all times while driving a motor vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, 
caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your 
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out 
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within 
the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a 
call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when 
behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, 
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to 
help others in need. 
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.   
Wireless Phone “Safety Tips”
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which 
should be easy to remember. 
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. 
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable 
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work 
to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without 
taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone 
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted 
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of 
these devices if available to you.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your 
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing 
your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if 
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let 
the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the 
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice 
can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is 
to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an 
address book or business card, or writing a “to do” list while driving a car, you 
are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a 
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention 
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not 
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your 
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop 
sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, 
follow this simple tip--dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, 
then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. 
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix--they are distracting 
and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you 
are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations 
which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the 
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous 
situations--with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 
9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road 
hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9 Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone 
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community. 
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where 
lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would 
want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number 
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require 
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But 
you still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down 
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident 
where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside 
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard 
to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry 
Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to inform 
wireless phone 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.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
1. 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.
2. What is FDAs 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 energ y (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.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has 
urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
 Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type 
emitted by wireless phones;
 Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user 
that is not necessary for device function; and
 Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible 
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have 
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the 
federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
 Environmental Protection Agency
 Federal Communications Commission
 Occupational Safety and Health Administration
 National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group 
activities, as well. 
						

							[ 187 ]Appendix B Message from the FDA
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States 
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA 
and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also 
regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these 
base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the 
RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of 
times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not 
the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in 
antennas, often called cell mobile or PCS phones. These types of wireless phones 
can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency 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 persons 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 far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have 
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the 
effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones 
have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. 
A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate 
the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that 
showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically 
engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to 
develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to 
RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions 
under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the 
results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiolog y studies have been published since December 2000. 
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use 
of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic 
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. 
None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects 
from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer 
questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in 
these studies was around three years. 
						

							[ 188 ]
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from 
wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually 
using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime 
animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large 
numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting 
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable 
to human populations, but 10 or more years follow-up may be needed to provide 
answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval 
between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - 
if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is 
hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of 
wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which 
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects 
of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of 
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are 
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to 
radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International 
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result 
of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has 
driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has 
also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a 
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do 
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining 
input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-
funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The 
initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone 
users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research 
needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can 
get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. 
FCC established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal 
health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones 
is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The 
FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of 
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation 
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s 
ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone 
and is set well below levels known to have effects. 
						

							[ 189 ]Appendix B Message from the FDA
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model 
of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives 
directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find 
your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming 
from   wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical 
standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless 
phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA 
scientists and engineers. The standard, Recommended Practice for Determining the 
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless 
Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques, sets forth the first consistent 
test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of 
wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human 
head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the 
consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. 
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the 
whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) 
of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone 
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency 
energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there 
is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential 
risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency 
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, 
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could 
place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure 
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and 
carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to 
a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. 
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use 
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless 
phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including 
children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency 
energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers 
using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the 
distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.Some groups 
sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged 
from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United  
						

							[ 190 ]
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. 
They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors 
or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children 
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health 
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic 
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure 
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and 
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard 
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation 
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and 
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow 
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from 
wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld 
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute 
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods 
and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no 
interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a accompanied 
hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with 
other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will 
conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
