Health and Safety Information 141What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?If there is a risk from these products--and at this point wedo not know that there is--it is probably very small. But ifyou are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,you can take a few simple steps to minimize yourexposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is akey factor in how much exposure a person receives,reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phonewill reduce RF exposure.If you must conduct extended conversations by wirelessphone every day, you could place more distance betweenyour body and the source of the RF, since the exposurelevel drops off dramatically with distance. For example,you could use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phone connected toa remote antenna.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you are concernedabout RF exposure from these products, you can usemeasures like those described above to reduce your RFexposure from wireless phone use.What about children using wireless phones?The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users ofwireless phones, including children and teenagers. If youwant to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequencyenergy (RF), the measured described above would applyto children and teenagers using wireless phones.
