higher power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that people
get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they
can get from wireless phones. Base stations
are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
The term 'wireless phone' refers here
to handheld wireless phones with builtin
antennas, often called 'cell', 'mobile', or
'PCS' phones. These types of wireless
32
phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of
the short distance between the phone and
the user's head. These RF exposures are
limited by FCC safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of the FDA and
other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure to RF
is drastically lower because a person's RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The so-called '
cordless phones,' which have a base unit
