Panasonic Digital Cellular Phone Ebgd55 Operating Instructions

For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives. 
Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile 
phones could consider holding lengthy 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. Again, the scientific data do not
 
demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned 
about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple 
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
