Safety Guidelines

118

sets forth the first consistent test

methodology for measuring the rate

at which RF is deposited in the heads

of wireless phone users. The test

method uses a tissue-simulating model

of the human head. Standardized

SAR test methodology is expected

to greatly improve the consistency

of measurements made at different

laboratories on the same phone. SAR

is the measurement of the amount

of energy absorbed in tissue, either

by the whole body or a small part of

the body. It is measured in watts/kg

(or milliwatts/g) of matter. This

measurement is used to determine

whether a wireless phone complies

with safety guidelines.

 . What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radiofrequency energy
from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products

- and at this point we do not know

that there is - it is probably very

small. But if you are concerned about

avoiding even potential risks, you can

take a few simple steps to minimize

your exposure to radio frequency(RF)

energy. Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives,

reducing the amount of time spent

using a wireless phone will reduce

RF exposure. If you must conduct

extended conversations by wireless

phone every day, you could place

more distance between your body

and the source of the RF, since the

exposure level drops off dramatically

with distance. For example, you could

use a headset and carry the wireless

phone away from your body or use a

wireless phone connected to a remote

antenna. Again, the scientific data do

not demonstrate that wireless phones

are harmful. But if you are concerned

about the RF exposure from these

products, you can use measures like

those described above to reduce your

RF exposure from wireless phone use.
