The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting

bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on

Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to

assure that safety standards continue to adequately protect

the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other

Accessories

Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency

energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not

know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are

concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take

a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure.

•

Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;

•

Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between

your head and the cell phone.

Hands-Free Kits

Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth

headsets

and various types of body-worn accessories such as

belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can be used to

reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.

Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the

phone is held away from the head in the user's hand or in

pproved body-worn accessories. Cell 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 ri

sks 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.
