What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk--and at this point we do not know if there is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take two simple steps to minimize your exposure to RF energy. First, since duration is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. Second, if you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, place more distance between your body and the source of the RF energy, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
