People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day
could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between
their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dra-
matically with distance. For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna
mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
