But if you are concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can take a few simple stepsto minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy(RF). Since time is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives, reducing the amount oftime spent using a wireless phone will reduce RFexposure.• “If you must conduct extended conversations bywireless phone every day, you could place moredistance between your body and the source ofthe RF, since the exposure level drops offdramatically with distance. For example, youcould use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful.
