are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are
simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those
persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held
mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations
on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models
for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of
phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their
cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that
places more distance between their bodies and the source of
the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside
the vehicle
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or
built into a separate package
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone
carried at the waist
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile
phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the
radio frequency energy from these products, taking the simple
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
