	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.
Safety	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
92	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
