RF Safe WireGuards fit any
personal Hands Free (P.H.F.) headsets.
Legislation for laws requiring Hands Free cell
phone usage are going in effect
all over the USA! Ironically, it has been proven headsets
often increase radiation exposure when not shielded or used
properly.
 A
common misconception in the late 90’s was that Headsets were
hailed as one of the best ways to reduce overall cranial
exposure to cell phone emissions by greatly increasing the
distance between the phone and headset.
In 1998, RF Safe published
scientific data supporting headsets increased RF Hazards
greatly - especially with regards to
fetal development because of relocation of the handset
and wave-guide effects.
Then in 2000 there were
worldwide concerns over the effectiveness of a headsets
abilitie to greatly reduce cranial field intensity by
accredited studies. The reason for this was that under certain
configurations the headset wire could act as an antenna and
transmission line to channel significant emissions directly
into the ear and along the body.
The British Independent Group
on Mobile Phones suggested headsets would be an ideal
solution if they were used with filters to stop the headset
wire from acting as an effective antenna.
This is exactly what
RF Safe WireGuards are; it is a
simple clip on Ferrite filter for maximum radiation reduction.
A headset using an RF Safe WireGuard typically emits only 2-5%
of the radiant microwave energy at the earpiece that an
ordinary headset device would emit, so like sun block it
offers a precautionary option to reduce microwave exposure.
Additional RF Safety measures
can be taken, such as using a wired P.H.F utilizing RF Safe
earbud shields or most
recommended is using an Air-Tube design headset with a
WireGuard. “
Air-Tube Designs further reduce
cranial exposure, the RF3 incorporates an acoustic exchange
principle like a doctors stethoscope to eliminate using a wire
all the way to a headsets earpiece; this extra distance truly
allows RF to drop off at the square of distance.
Earbud shields are made of a thin fabric specially treated to
deflect RF radiation, simply install one 5/8 O.D Earbud shield
under the headsets foam earpiece cover, at this point the ear
canal is sealed off from RF entering it.
NOTE: EarBud shields are not needed if using an Air-Tube
headset!

Cell Phone Location & RF Exposure
RF Phone Apparel Shields easily
fit any person’s active healthy lifestyle.
 |
A major concern
of
"Hands Free Use"
is where the cell phone is held when near your body! |
 |
When a cell phone is attached
to a belt, or in your pocket/purse radiation can penetrate the
area near the cell phone handset. This radiant energy is
absorbed much faster than at your head because tissues and
organs such as liver, kidneys and reproductive organs provide
much better conductivity than the skull. Simply put most of
your major organs have no bone protection like your brain
does. To avoid microwave exposure to vital organs and/or fetal
development when using your cell phone, your usage environment
must be taken into consideration and a deflective barrier “RF
Safe Pocket/Purse and/or Belt Clip Shield” must be used
between you and the handset itself.
Several RF Safe Approved
Shields are made to deflect excessive microwave exposure for
cell phone usage in near-field proximity of the body.
Deflection materials are used because of their unique ability
to provide a non-saturating rf barrier. An example of where
deflection materials are use to shield microwaves in everyday
life is a Microwave oven’s glass window “covered with screen”
to deflect radiation back into the cooking chamber. This same
technique is used to create a shield between you and the cell
phone handset for the purpose of deflecting cell phone
radiation away from you. Depending on where you carry the cell
phone, the following shields are applicable. Note: Below
shields are to be used in conjunction with a “Shielded
Headset”!
v
Normally Clipped
On Belt
A laminated 4x6in belt clip shield is
installed between the swivel belt clip and phone, so when the
phone is on the belt, a shield is between your body and phone.
v
Normally In
Shirt or Pants Pocket
A laminated 4x6in Pocket shield is simply
slipped in your pocket between the phone and your body.
v
Normally Held
In Purse/HandBag
A laminated RF shield is slipped between
the phone and the side of the purse or handbag that faces your
body
Cell Phone Usage
Environments/RF Exposure
 |
When
Driving
A RFS Approved Car Antenna Should "ALWAYS BE USED" |
 |
Often you will take your cell
phone into different environments, some of which - like small
metal enclosed areas, will effect the operation of your cell
phone. These environments can cause a cell phone to operate at
its highest power output levels, plus trapped radiation can
amplify EM power densities surrounding the cell phone user.
This intensification of RF exposure happens because the
conductive surroundings will become
concentrating reflectors "Like The Cooking Cavity Of A
Microwave Oven", when using a cell phone inside a metal
enclosure, Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) gets trapped inside
the conductive walls creating reflections of microwaves in
what is scientifically called a "Faraday
Effect".
As a measure to avoid
excessive microwave exposure when a cell phone is used in a
car or truck, an external vehicle antenna is needed. To get
the most from your antenna it should be “centered” on the roof
without obstructions - the roof acts as a ground plane for the
magnetic mount antennas. Once the antenna is centered on the
ground plane (Roof), guide the (10ft) RF cable inside the car
by opening the door and choosing a path to where you will be
placing your cell phone. Suggestions are running the antenna’s
wire above the sun visor across to the rear view mirror, down
the center of the dash to a phone holder or on the seat at
arms reach. This antenna can be changed to another car in less
than a minute or even taken into the office or home for added
performance and safety.
If you plan to use your
antenna away from your car, the antenna should be mounted on a
flat metal surface such as a filing cabinet, or a metal sheet
(ground plane) - about 8"x8” to 12"x12" for maximum
performance. If your model cell phone is not applicable for
using a vehicle antenna, we recommend placing the phone on the
dashboard “Using Velcro” to center it away from any metal
windshield supports with the cell phones antenna facing the
front of the vehicle’s windshield as close as possible.
