Guide to Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Exposure

1. BUY A LOW-RADIATION PHONE
Consider replacing your phone with one that emits the lowest radiation possible and still meets your needs.

2. USE A HEADSET OR SPEAKER

Using your Headsets or speaker emit much less radiation than reduces radiation to the head. Some wireless headsets emit continuous, so take yours off your ear when you're not on a call.

3. LISTEN MORE, TALK LESS
Your phone emits radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're receiving messages. Listening more and talking less reduces your exposures.

4. HOLD PHONE AWAY FROM YOUR BODY
Hold the phone away from your torso when you're talking (with headset or speaker), not against your ear, in a pocket, or on your belt where soft body tissues absorb radiation.

5. CHOOSE TEXTING OVER TALKING
Phones use less radiation to send text than voice. And unlike when you speak with the phone at your ear, texting keeps radiation away from your head.

6. POOR SIGNAL? STAY OFF THE PHONE
Fewer signal bars on your phone means that it emits more radiation to get the signal to the tower.

7. LIMIT CHILDREN’S PHONE USE
Young children’s brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation as those of adults.

8. SKIP THE “RADIATION SHIELD”
Radiation shields such as antenna caps or keypad covers reduce the connection quality and force the phone to transmit at a higher power with higher radiation.
