Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps

you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course,

reduce your talk time. You can place more distance between

your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops

off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that

“hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience

and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy

in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF

emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand,

if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the

body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF

energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet

safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against

the head or against the body. Either conﬁ guration should result

in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless

phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on

the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your

wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation

of your phone.

Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientiﬁ c evidence does

not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices,

including children.” The FDA/FCC website further states that “some

groups sponsored by other national governments have advised

that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all”.
