Pantech DM-P205 manual Evidence that any health hazard exists, Medical equipment?

	FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
	If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofre-
	quency 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 spon-
	sored 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 recom-
	mendation 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?
CH 5	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.
