The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting
bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to
assure that safety standards continue to adequately
protect the public.
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and
Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency
energy (RF) from cell phones - 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 RF
exposure.
• Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance
between your head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth

headsets and various types of body-worn accessories
such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these
can be used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell
phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the
phone is held away from the head in the user's hand or
in approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure
compliance requirements when used against the head
and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to believe
that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be
used for convenience and comfort. They are also
required by law in many states if you want to use your
phone while driving.
