What  steps  can  I  take  to  reduce  my  exposure  to 

radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - 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 
exposure  to  radio  frequency  energy  (RF).  Since  time  is 
a  key  factor  in  how  much  exposure  a  person  receives, 
reducing  the  amount  of  time  spent  using  a  wireless 
phone will reduce RF exposure.
• “If  you  must  conduct  extended  conversations  by 

wireless phone every day, you could place more distance 
between your body and the source of the RF, since the 
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For 
example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless 
phone  away  from  your  body  or  use  a  wireless  phone 
connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless 
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the 
RF exposure from these products, you can use measures 
like those described above to reduce your RF exposure 
from wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users 
of  wireless  phones,  including  children  and  teenagers. 
If  you  want  to  take  steps  to  lower  exposure  to  radio 
frequency  energy  (RF),  the  measures  described  above 
would  apply  to  children  and  teenagers  using  wireless 
phones.  Reducing  the  time  of  wireless  phone  use  and 
increasing  the  distance  between  the  user  and  the  RF 
source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments 
have  advised  that  children  be  discouraged  from  using 
wireless  phones  at  all.  For  example,  the  government  in 
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such 
a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that 
no  evidence  exists  that  using  a  wireless  phone  causes 
brain  tumors  or  other  ill  effects. Their  recommendation 
to  limit  wireless  phone  use  by  children  was  strictly 
precautionary;  it  was  not  based  on  scientific  evidence 
that any health hazard exists. 

Health and safety information

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks 

from exposure to RF emissions?

Since  there  are  no  known  risks  from  exposure  to  RF 
emissions  from  wireless  phones,  there  is  no  reason  to 
believe  that  hands-free  kits  reduce  risks.  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.

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield 

the head from RF radiation work?

Since  there  are  no  known  risks  from  exposure  to  RF 
emissions  from  wireless  phones,  there  is  no  reason  to 
believe  that  accessories  that  claim  to  shield  the  head 
from  those  emissions  reduce  risks.  Some  products  that 
claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special 
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a 
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have 
shown  that  these  products  generally  do  not  work  as 
advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” 
may  interfere  with  proper  operation  of  the  phone. The 
phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, 
leading  to  an  increase  in  RF  absorption.  In  February 
2002,  the  Federal  trade  Commission  (FTC)  charged  two 
companies  that  sold  devices  that  claimed  to  protect 
wireless  phone  users  from  radiation  with  making  false 
and  unsubstantiated  claims.  According  to  FTC,  these 
defendants  lacked  a  reasonable  basis  to  substantiate 
their claim.
