Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.

8.What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

9.What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.

If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

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 radiofrequency 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

2260 specifications

The Nokia 2260 is a resilient and practical mobile phone that embodies the essence of classic mobile design, prioritizing functionality and user convenience over complex modern features. Launched during a period when mobile devices were primarily used for texting and calling, this model is an excellent example of Nokia’s commitment to producing reliable communication tools.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 2260 is its robust build quality. Constructed to withstand everyday wear and tear, the phone’s durable casing ensures it can handle the rigors of daily use, making it ideal for individuals who value reliability. The compact design allows for easy portability, fitting comfortably in a pocket or bag.

The user interface is straightforward, featuring a well-organized keypad with tactile buttons, which provides users with a satisfying typing experience for text messages and dialing. The large monochrome display, while not as advanced as contemporary smartphones, offers clear visibility for essential information and incoming calls.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 2260 supports basic GSM technology, providing dependable network access for voice calls and text messaging. It lacks the high-speed internet capabilities of modern smartphones, but its simplicity ensures users stay connected without distractions. The phone operates on a long-lasting battery, which is one of its most appreciated characteristics. Users can expect days of usage on a single charge, which is a significant advantage for those who often find themselves away from power sources.

Another notable aspect of the Nokia 2260 is its limited multimedia features, emphasizing voice calls and text messages. The device may come preloaded with a few simple ringtones and a basic contact management system, but it steers clear of the extensive apps and media functions found in today’s smartphones. This limitation is intentional, catering to users seeking a no-frills device.

In conclusion, the Nokia 2260 represents an era of mobile phones focused on essential communication without the distractions of advanced technology. Its sturdy construction, user-friendly interface, long battery life, and basic connectivity features make it an appealing choice for those who appreciate simplicity and reliability in their mobile devices. Whether for personal use or as a backup phone, the Nokia 2260 stands as a testament to Nokia’s legacy in the mobile industry.
