Don’t fry your brain with a cellphone: use Bluetooth instead
Bluetoothsome for your brain
What’s wrong with the picture on this NZ Herald story, originally from AP?
The story is about cellphones causing cancer - or “frying your brain” as the Herald subs have it. To avoid it, the person interviewed in the story says to use a hands-free kit, which the person in the picture does. It’s a Bluetooth headset, a wireless one that operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Umm. Right.

The heat and radiation energy output from a Bluetooth headset is far less than that of a mobile. Therefore it is much safer.

Depending on the class of BT device, the output is between 1 to 100mW. The highest class isn’t used for headsets, but either way, the notion of avoiding radiation by using a radiating device seems a bit silly. That’s just me though.
