factor in how much exposure a person 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 conversations in their cars
every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places
more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. 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 antenna connected to a

different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built
into a separate package

• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried

at the waist

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile
phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radio
frequency energy from these products, taking the simple
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
