In the absence of conclusive information about 

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 people 

are concerned about avoiding even po-

tential risks, there are simple steps they 

can take to do so. For example, time is a 

key factor in how much exposure a per-

son receives. Those persons who spend 

long periods of time on their hand-held 

mobile phones could consider holding 

lengthy conversations on conventional 

phones and reserving the hand-held 

models for shorter conversations or for 

situations when other types of phones 

are not available.
People who must conduct extended con-

versations in their cars every day could 

switch to a type of mobile phone that plac-

es more distance between their bodies 

and the source of the RF, since the expo-

sure level drops off dramatically with dis-

tance. For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is 

located outside the vehicle,

• a hand-held phone with a built-in an-

tenna connected to a different antenna 

mounted on the outside of the car or 

built into a separate package, or

• a headset with a remote antenna to a 

mobile phone carried at the waist.
