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
