In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both US and international standards
bodies:
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate
most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
• ICNIRP (1996)*
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care
and operation of your phone:
• Don’t twist the antenna. Excess twisting will damage the
antenna.
• Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model. Body worn measurements are made while the
phone is in use and worn on the body with an Ericsson accessory.
The design and composition of an accessory can affect the body
worn Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels for the phone.
Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about
the body worn SAR levels when the phone is used with non-
Ericsson accessories.
• Do not allow children to play with your phone. They could
hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the
phone. Your phone may contain small parts that could be
detached and create a choking hazard.
• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme
temperatures.
• Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. Failure to
use them may result in loss of performance or product damage,
and will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void
warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Service should only be performed by Authorized

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A
new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time,
should be conditioned before using your phone. Avoid recharging a
fully-charged or almost fully-charged battery. If your phone shuts off
due to low battery power, you should charge the battery within
24 hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been receiving
inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular
phones and PCS phones.
The following summarizes what is known – and what remains
unknown – about whether these products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This
information may be used to respond to questions.
• Do not leave your battery where it may be subjected to
extremely hot or cold temperatures. This could reduce the
battery’s capacity.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another
metal object such as keys in your pocket. This could short-
circuit and damage the battery.

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,
radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF),
considered non-significant, 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). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or
through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse
health effects as well. Although some research has been done to
address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of
this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science
does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe,
or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence
does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the
use of mobile phones.
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could cause the
battery to explode.
• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
• Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery
charger. Using a different adapter could be dangerous and will
void your phone warranty.
• Never charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is
below 50°F (10°C) or above 105°F (40°C).
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.

Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user’s
*XLGHOLQHVꢀIRUꢀ6DIHꢀDQGꢀ(IILFLHQWꢀ8VH
ꢊꢁ
head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile
phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone’s
antenna – the primary source of the RF – and the person’s head. The
exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located
at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is
drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person’s
RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The
safety of so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower
power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones.
This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit
additional study:
1 In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an
association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of
brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve
sheath). No statistically significant association was found between
mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no
association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types
of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted
that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was
less than three years.

SKRQHVꢀPLJKWꢀEHꢀKDUPIXO"
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way;
however, 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 characteristic
of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one
study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one
type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers
when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is
much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained
from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is
uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to
humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF
virtually continuously – up to 22 hours per day.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an
association was found between mobile phone use and one rare
type of 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. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure.
An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer
Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of
1
these results.
2 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess
the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material.
These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including
mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and
structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called
lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except
for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the
ꢊꢊ
*XLGHOLQHVꢀIRUꢀ6DIHꢀDQGꢀ(IILFLHQWꢀ8VH
genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after
exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after
24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to
radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is
known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the
response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus,
number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be
statistically significant.

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health
problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to
work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry,
to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers
to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.

follow-up research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and

Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed
with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of
cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones.
In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about
6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming
80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of
about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would
be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or
not they used their phones. 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. One way to
answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones
among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones
among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is
called a case-control study.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the
literature:
1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone
signals 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. This was the only change noted among more than 20
3
variables compared.
2 In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls,
there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile
phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however,
they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the
mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small
The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National
Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by
industry, will begin to generate this type of information.

The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation
at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the
health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the
hazard no longer exists.

If there is a risk from these products – and at this point we do not
know that there is – it is probably very small. But if people are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps
they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how
much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long
periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider
holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving
the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations
when other types of phones are not available.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to
take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has
recommended that the industry:
• support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by mobile phones;
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every
day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance
between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could
switch to:
• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best
possible information on what is known about possible effects of
mobile phone use on human health.
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the
vehicle,
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of
mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built
into a separate package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at
the waist.
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission

Again, the scientific data do 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.
