value of a wireless device while operating can be less
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR
value may vary from call to call, depending on factors
such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the
wireless device to the body while in use, and the use
of hands-free devices.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s
OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/
Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins,
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. You may also wish to contact
the manufacturer of your wireless device.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several
simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure.
You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place
more distance between your body and the source of
the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. The FDA/FCC website states that “[h]ands-free
kits can be used with wireless devices for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of
RF energy in the head because the phone, which is a
source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against
the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted
against the waist or other part of the body during use,
then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to
meet safety requirements regardless of whether they
are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the
safety limit.”
Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car,
you can use a wireless device with an antenna on the
outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow
your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for
the safe operation of your wireless device.
Do wireless devices pose any special risks
to children?
The FDA website states that “[t]he scientific evidence
does not show a danger to any users of cell phones
from RF exposure, including children and teenagers.”
The FDA website further states that “[s]ome groups
sponsored by other national gov ernments have
advised that children be discouraged from using cell
phones at all. For example, the Stewart Report from
