conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or
for situations when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to a type of mobile
phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch to:
•
a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,
•
a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna mounted on the
outside of the car or built into a separate package, or
•
a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
