Safety

Again, the scientific data do 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 energy (RF), 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 discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

11.What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard

sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

VX3200 specifications

The LG Electronics VX3200 was a standout mobile phone released in the early 2000s, marking a significant entry into the world of flip phones. Known for its compact design and practical features, the VX3200 catered to users looking for functionality and ease of use. It represented LG’s commitment to providing reliable technology in a stylish package.

One of the main features of the VX3200 was its compact form factor. The phone featured a sleek clamshell design, making it portable and easy to carry. When closed, it protected the keypad from accidental presses, which was a common problem with many traditional candy-bar phones. The internal display boasted a vibrant color screen, while the external display allowed users to see incoming calls and notifications without opening the device, enhancing convenience.

The VX3200 was equipped with a solid set of basic features, including a reliable speakerphone, a predictive text input system, and customizable ringtones. It also supported polyphonic ringtones, which allowed for richer sound quality compared to monophonic ringtones, making it easier for users to personalize their devices.

In terms of connectivity, the VX3200 supported CDMA technology, ensuring good call quality and coverage in areas serviced by the network. The phone featured a long battery life, allowing users to stay connected for extended periods without frequent recharging. This was especially appreciated by those who relied on their phones for day-to-day communication.

One notable characteristic of the VX3200 was its user-friendly interface. The menu was intuitive, making navigation straightforward for users of all ages. The phone also supported voice dialing, which added another layer of convenience, allowing users to make calls hands-free, an essential feature in the automotive environment or for multitasking.

While the VX3200 may not have boasted the advanced features of smartphones today, it was a reliable and functional device that met the essential needs of its users. It perfectly illustrated the balance of practicality and style that LG Electronics aimed to achieve, allowing it to hold a notable place in the mobile phone market during its time. The LG VX3200 remains a fond memory for many who appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of early mobile technology.
