Read Your Cell Phone Owwners Manual!!!!

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED!

My phone (HTC Tilt) Says:
  • The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
  • Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).Mine says "do not hold your phone within one inch from your head"
  • As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
  • Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call.
Palm Centro Says:
  • Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
  • To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Palm-supplied or -approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Palm-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Be sure to use an accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm of separation between the users body and the unit.
WHY WOULD THEY SAY THAT FOLKS?

Take a look at your manual and share what you find. This should be interesting.
