Can I minimize my RF
exposure?
If you are concerned
about RF, there are
several simple steps you
can take to minimize
your RF exposure. You
can, of course, reduce
your talk time. You can
place more distance
between your body and
the source of the RF,
as the exposure level
drops off dramatically
with distance. The FDA/
FCC website states that
"hands-free kits can
be used with wireless
phones for convenience
and comfort. These
systems reduce the
absorption of RF energy
in the head because
the phone, which is the
source of the RF emis-
sions, will not be placed
against the head. On the
other hand, if the phone
is mounted against the
waist or other part of the
body during use, then
that part of the body
will absorb more RF
energy. Wireless phones
marketed in the U.S. are
required to meet safety
requirements regardless
of whether they are used
against the head or
against the body. Either
configuration should
result in compliance with
the safety limit. " Also,
if you use your wireless
phone while in a car,
you can use a phone
with an antenna on the
outside of the vehicle.
You should also read
and follow your wireless
phone manufacturer's
instructions for the safe
operation of your phone.
