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
radio frequency 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 energy (RF). 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 RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency
