range while being used. They also emit very
low levels of RF when in the Main Menu Screen.
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 the FDA's role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the
safety of radiationemitting 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, the 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 does not
