When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the touch screen by sensing when the phone is
near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally
activating the touch screen during calls.

Placing a heavy object on the phone or sitting on it can damage the display
and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen
protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to

HealthConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:
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RadioFrequency(RF)energyin

adversehealtheffects.ManystudiesoflowlevelRFexposureshavenotfoundany

researchershavehaddifficultyinreproducingthosestudies,orindeterminingthe
reasonsforinconsistentresults.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,the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

Insuchacase,theFDAcouldrequirethemanufacturersofwirelessphonestonotify

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in

4. What are the results of the research done already?

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from
my wireless phone?
Ifthereisariskfromtheseproducts—andatthispointwedonotknowthatthere

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
