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?

Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, 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 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. 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 accompanied hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

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

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.
