Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,
the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
• Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of
signal emitted by cell phones;
• Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and
• Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell
phone use and human health concerns.
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.
