3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
Theterm‘wirelessphone’refershere
tohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuiltin
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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drasticallylowerbecause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lowerpowerlevels,andthus
produceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCC
safetylimits.

done already?
