of new research programs around

measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and

developing a technical standard for

more distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry the
wireless phone away from your body
or use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data does not
demonstrate that wireless phones
are harmful. But if you are

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When using
your wireless phone behind the
wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone
and its features such as speed
dial and redial. Carefully read...

situation because you are reading

6. Dial sensibly and assess the
traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan your calls before you begin
your trip or attempt to coincide
your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light,
or otherwise stationary. But if
you need to dial while driving,
follow this simple tip -- dial only

The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use
