0.6 inch (1.5cm) separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided. Q600 accessories: charger, data cable-optional; earphone-optional. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov...
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engi- neers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
• Use hands-free operation, if available; • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this informa- tion.
Blasting areas Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmo- sphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Potentially explosive atmospheres Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.

Why the concern? Mobile phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (i.e., radio fre- quency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy (RF), considered non-sig- nificant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food).

Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; how- ever, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteris- tic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results.

glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use.

Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone sig- nals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals.

Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population.

Again, the scientific data does not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk. Where can I find additional information?
