You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless device. Can I minimize my RF exposure WHILE USING MY PHONE OR DEVICE? 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 "[h]ands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is a 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 device while in a car, you can use a wireless device with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless device manufacturer's instructions for the safe operation of your wireless device. Do wireless PHONES pose any special risks to children? The FDA website states that "[t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers." The FDA website further states that "[s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom ["UK"] made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK's] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists."

CAN I MINIMIZE MY RF EXPOSURE WHILE USING MY PHONE OR DEVICE?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize

distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops
