NOTE: Proximity sensor
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.
WARNING
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
malfunction.

2. What is the FDAs 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
ormedicaldevices.However,theagencyhasauthoritytotakeactionifwirelessphones
areshowntoemitRadioFrequency(RF)energy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justifyFDAregulatoryactions,the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.
The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
• OccupationalSafetyandHealthAdministration
• NationalTelecommunicationsandInformationAdministration
TheNationalInstitutesofHealthparticipatesinsomeinteragencyworkinggroup
activities,aswell.
The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.TheFCCreliesontheFDA
andotherhealthagenciesforsafetyquestionsaboutwirelessphones.
The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

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handheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in
antennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwireless
phonescanexposetheusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseof
theshortdistancebetweenthephoneandtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwith
theadviceofthe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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RadioFrequency(RF)energy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

aboutlong-termexposures,sincetheaverageperiodofphoneuseinthesestudieswas
aroundthreeyears.
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

exists.Epidemiologicalstudiescanprovidedatathatisdirectlyapplicabletohuman
populations,butten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

bemany,manyyears.Theinterpretationofepidemiologicalstudiesishamperedby

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 the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects
of wireless phone RF?
The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

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can
get by using my wireless phone?
AllphonessoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFederalCommunications

FCCestablishedtheseguidelinesinconsultationwiththeFDAandtheotherfederal

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
is—itisprobablyverysmall.Butifyouareconcernedaboutavoidingevenpotential

(RF)energy.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does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RadioFrequency
(RF)energy,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

7.11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer goods:
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et seq], and
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301
et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the
product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or replace defective goods. [See 15
USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract
or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure
requirements, the federal Act does not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and obligations of parties under the state
Uniform Commercial Code, except the provisions of the Act prevail over provisions of the Commercial
Code when they confl ict. [CC §1790.3.]
For purposes of small claims actions, this course will focus on rights and duties under the state laws.
