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
energy (RF), the measured described above would apply
to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
