For Your Safety
depending on factors such as proximity to a
cell site, the proximity of the phone to the
body while in use, and the use of hands-free
devices. For more information about SARs,

your phone.
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
configuration 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
scientific 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”. For example, the Stewart
Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made
such a recommendation in December 2000.
In this report a group of independent experts
noted that no evidence exists that using a cell
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
