I buy a flip-phone so I can keep it in my pocket. Sometimes the inner
pocket of my jacket. That makes it less than 1 inch from my heart.
Bee-beep! I feel RF is penetrating my heart.

To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you wear
a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the phone in
Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this phone, if available. Use of accesories no approved
by Motorola may exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. If you do not
use one of the body-worn accessories approved or supplied by Motorola,
and are not using the phone held in the normal use position, ensure
the phone and its antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting.

Re: Scary stuff from Moto V400 manual
Don't know where you have been but this is normal since day 1 of V60 going
back several years now. It's related to SAR (specific absorption rate) and
the reason all Motorola holsters tip the phone out by 15 degrees or so-- it
keeps the antenna about 1 inch from the plane in which the clip is located
(although most people I see on the street have a bulge about their waist
that offsets the offset).
Every manufacturer has to meet the same requirement but I doubt that it's
changed the way anyone carries their phone in their pocket.

Read closer, it said "when transmitting" that means when in a call. Verry
little RF is given off when not in a call (thats why your battery drains
faster when in a call). I think what they are saying here is if you are in
a data call or using an earbud then you should not have it in your pocket.
The funny thing is.... I have a FM raidio headset for my v300 and its
holdter/pouch bocks the data port (bottom of phone) where the headset plugs
in. So if Im using my FM radio headset, I have to put the phone in my
pocket. Granted, if the phone rings Ill pull it out to check the caller ID
and then probably just hold onto the phone, but I think most people would
just put it back in their pocket.

Re: Scary stuff from Moto V400 manual
An inch from your body? ....... does that include your hands?
Does that mean that you should lay the phone down on something ... and get
close (but not that close).

Re: Scary stuff from Moto V400 manual
Then why doesn't Motorola give out the holster or clip along with the
V400? Isn't customer safety and health their no. 1 concern? They
should issue a warning to thousands of users who use their phone
without a holster that they can be subject to RF Energy Exposure.
Wait till some really bad comes out in the news, then Motorola would
say we have stated it in the manual but almost no one paid any
attention.
Nothing much we average users can do with this, unless some health
organizations look into it and give us an explicit explanation.

Re: Scary stuff from Moto V400 manual
This is CYA legalize, and all cell manufacturers use it. In standby, the
phone emits absolutely miniscule amounts of RF. If this tiny bit of RF were
harmful, we would all be dead, or have ill effects. Remember cell phones
have been in constant use for over 20 years now. When calling, a cell
phone puts out between 100 to 300 milliwatts, a still small amount when
compared to a business band walkie talkie. However it might be enough to
mess up an older pacemaker, and I would not want to have 300 mw next to my
chest for long periods of time. If you spend hours on your cell phone every
day and you use an earbud, so the phone is in your pocket ...then heed the
warning.

No, cell phones have been in GENERAL use for only about 7-10 years
(depending on the country) now. Before that, they were used by very few
people only - plus: the G1 phones used different frequencies and sent
out different types of radiation than the current digital generation
(G2). Now, in medical terms, 7-10 years is simply (by far) not enough to
rule out long-term effects. Take a look at smoking: hardly anyone gets
noticably sick after 7-10 years of smoking. The picture looks entirely
different if you double or triple the time frame.
Now, I'm not at all claiming that cell phone radiation is harmful. I
use a cell myself and I know there's simply no prove for any danger. But
there's absolutely no prove for cell phones being harmless either. It's
going to take another 20-30 years until that statement can be made - if
only based on the lack of serious diseases that can be attributed
directly to HF radiation.
Until we know cell phone radiation is harmless, it's smarter to take the
precautions our governments suggest: use bluetooth headsets (bluetooth
also uses HF radiation, but the intensity is far less), use your cells
only when necessary, avoid talking to long on a cell etc.

right. does the general population use business band walkie talkies? In
Europe definitely not. As long as the number of people using a device is
small, there's no way of scientifically proving side effects.
