Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and various types of
body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these
can be used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is held away
from the head in the user’s hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure compliance
requirements when used against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-
free kits can be used for convenience and comfort. They are also required by law
in many states if you want to use your phone while driving.
