and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on 
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific 
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, 
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded 
research is conducted through contracts to independent 
investigators. The initial research will include both 
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. 
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of 
additional research needs in the context of the latest 
research developments around the world.
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 the RF 
exposure from these products, you can use measures like 
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from 
wireless phone use.
