Safety Guidelines for Mobile Phone Radiation


Safety Guidelines for Mobile Phone Radiation

* Keep distance – Hold the cell phone away from body to the extent possible.

* Use a headset (wired or Bluetooth) to keep the handset away from your head.

* Do not press the phone handset against your head. Radio Frequency (RF) energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source -- being very close increases energy absorption much more.

* Use text as compared to voice wherever possible.

* Put the cell phone on speaker mode.

* If the radio signal is weak, a mobile phone will increase its transmission power. Find a strong signal and avoid movement – Use your phone where reception is good.

* Metal & water are good conductors of radio waves so avoid using a mobile phone while wearing metal-framed glasses or having wet hair.

* Let the call connect before putting the handset on your ear or start speaking and listening – A mobile phone first makes the communication at higher power and then reduces power to an adequate level. More power is radiated during call connecting time.

* If you have a choice, use a landline (wired) phone, not a mobile phone.

* When your phone is ON, don't carry it in chest/breast or pants pocket. When a mobile phone is ON, it automatically transmits at high power every one or two minutes to check (poll) the network.


* People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant. While Purchasing a Mobile Handset check the SAR value of the mobile phone. It can be searched on internet if its model number & make is known.
