RF energy. Pacemakers Research sponsored by Wireless Technology Research (WTR) indicates that some wireless telephones cause inter- ference with pacemakers. NEC America, Inc., endorses the following recommendations: • Wireless phones should be kept at a safe distance from a pacemaker. Existing data indicate that the greater the distance between a pacemaker and a wireless phone, the less the risk of interference.

Aircraft • Turn off the phone before boarding any aircraft. • While the plane is on the ground, receive approval from the airline crew prior to using the cellular phone. • Do not use the phone while the plane is in the air. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Fed- eral Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require air- line crew permission prior to phone usage.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The fol- lowing 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.

The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radia- tion, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heat- ing.

Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature: Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they per- formed 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...
