If you are listening to music whilst out and

periods of time. We therefore recommend
that you do not turn on or off the handset
close to your ear. We also recommend that
music and call volumes are set to a

Administration’s Center for

Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not
show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects may occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other
