A question about digital cordless phones

I working on persuading my husband to get the digital cordless out of
our bedroom. I have been unplugging it at night (just at the electrical
outlet) but the phone still works because it is a 'spare' handset not
the master one.

I understand that the handset itself still emits wireless frequencies
but does the base? Or is the base just a charger?

I guess wireless door alarms are bad too??

In the cordless phone models that I know of, the base emits the most
charge. It emitted an incredible amount of radiation.
I had to unplug it then pull the battery out to kill it.

Some bases emit and some don't - what you really need to do is get yourself
a High RF measurement device (like from gigahertz solutions - lessemf.com )
for about $500 and measure it yourself - that way you'll always know how
much wireless radiation is hitting you.

Paul Uk replies - Get that abomination out of your sleeping quarters double
quick ! The base will be emitting 100hz pulsed signal main wave at 2.4 gig
can be up to 5 volts per metre close by, certainly not for sleeping next to,
the smaller bases on multiple handset models emit less than the mother base
which emits 24/7, the older ct1+ phones now apparently discontinued used to emit
only when in use heavan knows why the new dect phones emit all the time
?...! please check out ES UK and Power watch uk for info on dect.

The base station on a digital cordless phone definitely emits. If you have
an electrosmog detector or similar, you can easily verify this. In fact we
can wander round the neighbourhood and can tell which houses have cordless
phones - they have a distinct signal (low pitched and pulsed). In fact they
are worse than mobile phones in some ways because the main signal seems to
be strong most of the time - for mobiles it seems to be low except when they
are actually being used on a call (and worst of all when ringing).
 
I am sorry for your husband because I know from my own experience how hard
it is to accept whether the disruption to one's life is really necessary,
but in my view the only safe alternative is to take out the cordless and
replace with a conventional wired receiver.
 
One would think that a wireless doorbell would also give a problem, but we
had one in a house we were staying at over the last year and it did not
affect Sue. Possibly it only gave a signal when the doorbell was rung. The
wireless burglar alarm (movement sensor), in contrast, did cause problems
and we had to disconnect it.
