What kinds of phones are the su bject 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 th e user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short dist ance between
the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposure s are limited by
Federal Communications Commissio n safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health a nd safety
agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from th e
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
