Most people are completely unaware that cell phone company’s today strongly advise against holding your cell phone against your face.
Just in case you haven’t already read your mobile device’s user manual, we pulled a couple all-nighters and did it for you. Here are some interesting quotes we found:
IPHONE
“iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for bodily worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body..”
“When on a call using the built-in audio receiver in iPhone, hold iPhone with the dock connector pointed toward your shoulder to increase separation from the antenna. When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network keep iPhone at least 15mm (5/8 inch) away from the body…”
{note: I have never seen anyone hold their phone perfectly vertical from their shoulder…normally the “dock connector” is held near one’s mouth for talking – like how phones are supposed to be used!}
BLACKBERRY
Blackberry recommends in their manual to “keep the device at least 0.98 inches (35mm) when the BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to a wireless network. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device…keep the device at least 0.98 inches (25mm) from your body.”
TAKEAWAYS
The shocking thing about all this is you don’t need to be talking on your cellular device to be exposed to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). As blackberry mentioned, you should keep the cellular device at a distance from your body while it’s transmitting/receiving data. It’s important for people to understand that any wireless technology that updates itself, streams video or send’s messages is done via radio waves (non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation).
