Appendix B: GUIDE TO SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE
WIRELESS PHONE USE
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
“Safety is the most important call you will ever make.”
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S. TODAY TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE COMBINATION OF
CONVENIENCE, SAFETY AND VALUE DELIVERED BY THE
WIRELESS TELEPHONE. QUITE SIMPLY, THE WIRELESS
PHONE GIVES PEOPLE THE POWERFUL ABILITY TO
COMMUNICATE BY VOICE-ALMOST ANYWHERE,
ANYTIME-WITH THE BOSS, WITH A CLIENT, WITH THE
KIDS, WITH EMERGENCY PERSONNEL OR EVEN WITH
THE POLICE. EACH YEAR, AMERICANS MAKE BILLIONS
OF CALLS FROM THEIR WIRELESS PHONES, AND THE
NUMBERS ARE RAPIDLY GROWING.
But an important responsibility accompanies those
benefits, one that every wireless phone user must
uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable
tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times
while driving a motor vehicle-whether on the phone or
not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.
Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It
requires a heavy dose of basic common sense-keep your
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors
frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within
the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring
other passengers to do the same.

base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model phone 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(e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
