Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless
devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency
(RF) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set policies and procedures for
wireless devices. The FDA and the FCC have created a joint website, "Cell
Phone Facts — Consumer Information on Wireless Phones," which states
that "[t]he available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones," while noting that
"[t]here is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe." You
can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov/cellphones.
You can also contact the FDA toll-free at 1-888-463-6332 or 1-888-INFO-
