10.Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when

necessary.

If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic

accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance

or other special non-emergency wireless number.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer

Update on Wireless Phones: Updated July 28, 2003

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 radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also

emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by 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 researchers have had difficulty in

reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as

wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the

agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at

a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless

phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard

no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless

phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:

• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless

phones;
