Basic Wireless Safety Actions:

Cell Phones

Use your speakerphone or text when using a cell phone

If you uncomfortable with using a speakphone or texting, purchase an air tube headset for your cell phone

Limit the duration of time on your cell phone

Refrain from using your cell phone in a car, bus or train. Metal reflects RFR, and it bounces around you when on a cell phone in this environment.

Don’t wear metal-rimmed glasses when using a cell phone

Keep a cell phone in your purse or backpack and out of your pocket

Purchase a cell phone shield for men’s hip holster
 
If you have lost a cell phone signal, do not try to restablish it in the same location. The amount of RFR you are exposed too will be high. Wait until you are in a different location to reestablish the connection.

  • Have the phone company install a Radio Frequency (RF) Filter on your phone line; some people also install shielded phone wire.
  • Only buy new electronics that have appropriate harmonic noise filters already installed.
  • Avoid using electric blankets and electric heating pads.
  • Use rubber gloves when washing dishes or working at the sink, and stand on a non-conductive mat. Both increase the resistance of the path through your body.
