    Answer:
The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have suggested some steps that cell phone users can take if they are concerned about potential health risks:
  • Reserve the use of cell phones for shorter conversations, or for times when a conventional phone is not available.
  • Switch to a type of cell phone with a hands-free device that will place more distance between the phone and the head of the user.

Hands-free kits reduce the amount of RF energy exposure to the head because the antenna, which is the source of RF energy, is not placed against the head.
