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 emissions, 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.
