Health and Safety Information 11
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF
exposure compliance requirements when used against
the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to
believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free
kits can be used for convenience and comfort. They are
also required by law in many states if you want to use
your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the
Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to
believe that accessories which claim to shield the head
from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that
claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone.
Studies have shown that these products generally do
not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these
so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation
of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its
power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF
absorption.
