• 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.
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.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to
Shield the Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from
exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories
which claim to shield the head from those
emissions reduce risks. Some products that
claim to shield the user from RF absorption
