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 radio frequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
