Consumer Information 
About Radio Frequency 
Emissions
Your wireless phone, 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 phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject 
of wireless phones 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 
phones. The FDA issued a website 
publication on health issues related 
to cell phone usage where it states, 
“The scientific community at 
large … believes that the weight 
of scientific evidence does not 
show an association between 
exposure to radiofrequency 
(RF) from cell phones and 
adverse health outcomes. Still 
the scientific community does 
recommend conducting additional 
research to address gaps in 
knowledge. That research is being 
conducted around the world 
and FDA continues to monitor 
developments in this field. You can 
access the joint FDA/FCC website 
at http://www.fda.gov (under 
“c”in the subject index, select Cell 
Phones > Research). You can also 
contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 
463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. 
In June 2000, the FDA entered 
into a cooperative research and 
development agreement through 
which additional scientific research 
is being conducted. The FCC 
issued its own website publication 
stating that “there is no scientific 
evidence that proves that wireless 
phone usage can lead to cancer 
or a variety of other problems, 
including headaches, dizziness or 
memory loss.” This publication is 
available at http://www.fcc.gov/
cgb/ cellular.html or through the 
FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888)
