Precautions while using Mobile Phones
A mobile phone is a phone that can make and receive telephone calls.
31. Never hold the phone directly against your head or body
Never hold the phone directly against your head or body When speaking on a cell phone use speakerphone, or wired earpieces, or handsfree devices, or airtube earpieces. The currently available scientific evidence about the effects of radiation emitted by mobile phones is contradictory,
32. Dont carry a cell phone close to the body
When its on, dont carry a cell phone close to the body Examples: dont carry a cell phone in your pocket, dont tuck a cell phone into your bra. Even when youre not using your cell phone, it emits radiation while its on.
33. Beware of weak signal
When signal strength is weak or blocked, your phone works harder and emits higher radiation. Use a corded landline more often. Whenever possible, use the speakerphone mode or a wireless Bluetooth headset, which has less than 1/100th of the electromagnetic emission of a normal cell phone. Use of a handsfree ear piece attachment may also reduce exposures.
34. Emits radiation
You go to sleep but your cell phone doesnt. It always emits radiation while its on. Dont put your phone under your pillow, dont put it on a bedside table, dont put it near anyone who is sleeping. Avoid carrying your cell phone on your body at all times. Do not keep it near your body at night such as under the pillow or on a bedside table, particularly if pregnant. You can also put it on flight
35. Biological effects
Keep calls short since the biological effects are directly related to the duration of exposure. If you must carry your cell phone on you, make sure that the keypad is positioned toward your body and the back is positioned toward the outside so that the transmitted electromagnetic fields move away from your rather than through you.
36. Effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields
Do not allow children to use a cell phone except for emergencies. The developing organs of a fetus or child are the most likely to be sensitive to any possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields.Avoid using your cell phone when the signal is weak or when moving at high speed, such as in a car or train, as this automatically increases power to a maximum as the phone repeatedly attempts to connect to a new relay antenna.
37. Communicating using your cell phone
While communicating using your cell phone, try to keep the cell phone away from the body as much as possible. The amplitude of the electromagnetic field is one fourth the strength at a distance of two inches and fifty times lower at three feet.
38. Use the speaker phone mode
Whenever possible, use the speakerphone mode or a wireless Bluetooth headset, which has less than 1/100th of the electromagnetic emission of a normal cell phone. Use of a handsfree ear piece attachment may also reduce exposures.
39. Keep cell phones turned off unless absolutely necessary
Keep cell phones turned off unless absolutely necessary. When they are on, dont carry them in your pocket or against your body. Keep the back of the phone, where the antenna is, facing away from your body.
40. It uses less power and exposes you less
Text rather than talk. It uses less power and exposes you less. If you need to talk, use your phone on speaker, and keep it further from your head. If you place it on your lap, use a barrier (like a book) between your phone and your body.
