Top Ten Tips for Safer Cell Phone Use

  • Use a landline whenever possible — "May I call you back on my landline?"
  • Use a low-tech, low SAR rated phone with a speaker function — avoid the hands free in-the-ear phones
  • Use on speakerphone, or with a hollow air tube headset
  • Limit calls, and keep powered off whenever possible
  • Carry away from your body — at least with the keypad or front of the cell phone facing toward the body, and the back or antenna side facing away from the body
  • Use outside of a car, train, elevator, airplane or other confined metal space
  • Use a computer with wired Internet access, with the wireless function disabled, to surf the Internet, watch movies, download music etc. not a mobile
  • Keep it fully charged (it has to 'amp' up more if the battery is weak, and/or if the reception is poor.)
  • Keep away from your sleep zone, use a battery-operated alarm clock to wake you up. Never sleep with your cell phone powered on.  Charge away from humans/pets — not on 'standby' at night.
  • Internet Phones also carry risk — particularly when you're on wireless Internet access.

Reducing your child's EMR exposure    

The growing and developing bodies and brains of babies, children and teens are especially vulnerable to this exposure.  Radiation Rescue gives parents and grandparents a complete list of recommendations to protect children at home and at school.
