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.
Driving safety tips
Wireless phones give people the ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility
accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility.
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone that should be easy to remember.
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands free device.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you
get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan
your calls before you begin your trip. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip--dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard or medical emergency.
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
