New to Group

sctdh


Hello everyone, I just joined the group after hearing about it on
CFSexperimental. Hi Marc, we discussed emfs there many times.

I got a panasonic home phone with a wireless phone, it is new with
5.8 ghz. I got it because it has speaker phones on the station and
hand set so I never have to put my head against it. My question is
whether the unit has radiation in general or when the hand set is
away from the base.

Welcome to the list. I don't use a cordless phone anymore. The
radiation from the cordless phone itself gives me a headache. I
recommend getting an RF meter like the HF-Detektor II PROFI or some
sensitive RF meter. Check to see if your base is pumping out radiation
even when you are not talking on the phone. My inlaws have a cordless
phone base station that pumps out radiation higher than a cell phone!
I have them unplug it and pull the batteries out of it every time I
visit.

Welcome, Paul. I too had a cordless Panasonic phone. I decommissioned
it as soon as we realized my husband was ES. An engineer friend
recommended doing this, but the truth is I could *feel* the radiation
in my head every time I used the phone (and I am not particularly
electrically sensitive). FYI, even my husband's telephone headset
seems to trigger ES symptoms if used for an extended time. An old-
fashioned corded phone, as low-tech as possible, seems preferable.

For ES purposes, my rule of thumb is that wired is better than
wireless. I am now in the process of weaning myself off my wireless,
high-speed Internet connection. (Not easy.)

Thanks Andrew and Cara,

I only use the speaker phone. I know the phone is terrible up close
as measured by the trifield meter. You mean you can't be anywhere in
the house with it on? Will the meter measure waves at a distance. Are
wireless cafes like this?

Re: New to Group

The radiation diminishes with distance of course and depending upon
your sensitivity, yes, you are getting it throughout your house. How
much radiation you want is up to you. And yes, hotels, cafes, airports
that are wired for wireless all have microwave radiation blanketing the
area.
You will have to figure out what you can handle. I don't even use my
meter any more. The symptoms are predictable and in the same places on
my body.
good luck,
Andrew

Low EM phone setup [was Re: New to Group]

I use a Plantronics 'Vista' M12 headset amplifier powered only by the
optional battery mode. 2 AA batteries is all the headset needs and
they last for months. The field associated with the Vista amp unit
drops beneath the threshold of my TriField meter to measure at a range
of 3 inches at maximum volume. The earpiece speaker AC field stays
beneath a 60Hz effective strength of 0.6 mG with the meter in direct
contact at its most sensitive location, dropping to unmeasurable at
just over an inch, at a volume which is quite audible for me.

This setup has allowed me extended phone conversations with much less
discomfort. :)

I've placed a photo of this setup, "Plantronics Vista M12 setup" in
our Photos section, Low EM Phone Configuration album.

I invested in this after standard landline phone receivers began to
trigger my ES. The portion next to the ear usually has a strong DC
magnet as part of the speaker assembly. (In contrast, the Vista's
earpiece speaker's DC magnet is approximately 7x less strong than my
standard phone's speaker.) And once it is driven by the AC phone
signal, it creates an AC field which is too strong for me to hold at
my ear.

You can also look at the Vista unit's specs here:

Thumbs up to that! The wired phone frequencies are typically much
lower and the fields are confined near the wire.

An even better solution is to use a wired phone with an air tube
headset. No EMF at all emitted from the air tube. Not all wired phones
will accept a headset. Less EMF Inc offers both the headset alone, and a
complete phone with the special headset. See http://www.lessemf.com/es.html

Thanks for the head's up on this headset setup, Emil! ;) How long is
the air tube on the headset? It looks about 8 in. long in the picture

Thanks again,

Yes, I think it is 9 inches long.
