questions about wireless phones. The
FCC also regulates the base stations
that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate
at 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 built-in
antennas, often called "cell", "mobile",
or "PCS" phones. These types of
wireless 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
