Performance and Safety Guidelines 175
is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies with safety
guidelines.
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 RF exposure from these
