	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 themselves, the RF
	exposures that people get from
	these base stations are typically
	thousands of times lower than
	those they can get from wireless
	phones. Base stations are thus
	not the subject of the safety
	questions discussed in this
S a f e	document.
	3. What kinds of phones are
ty	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.
