Just to prove there's no prejudice: a "low radiation cordless phone" for the sensitive

by Guy J Kewney | posted on 05 December 2007


It's true: the guys at the EMFields shop and PowerWatch have had some tough negative publicity what with all the complaints concerning the BBC's Panorama programme about WiFi; so to play fair, here's a new product for the electrosensitive: a low radiation DECT cordless phone.

Here's the blurb:

Traditionally, DECT cordless phones emit high levels of EMFs. The base unit transmits all the time, whether the phone is in use or not, and the handset transmits at full power when in use, regardless of how far the handset is from the base unit. For people who are electrosensitive, or those who wish to take a precautionary approach towards EMFs, clearly this is not a good thing!
The feature they are emphasising is dynamic range reduction:
Automatic Dynamic Range Reduction when handset is close to base station during conversation (reduces power output by as much as 75%). You can also manually switch the base station to permanent low radiation mode (if desired).

Full details on the EMFields web site; and PowerWatch will explain it all to anybody who wants more.   And then maybe you can stop wearing your anti-radiation mesh hat?

Actually, don't. It suits you. Really...
