Due to upgrades in hardware and software over the years, it is often now not sufficient to put a mobile phone (or other wireless device) into Airplane mode to halt all its skin- and body-penetrating radiofrequency electromagnetic (RF) radiation emissions (which usually can also penetrate through various building materials and other living and non-living solids). Here are steps we have found minimize the RF radiation emissions (also read the NOTES below the 8 Steps):

Step 1: turn on Airplane mode
Step 2: then manually check WiFi is off
Step 3: then manually check Bluetooth is off
Step 4: then manually check Data Services are off
Step 5: then manually check Locators are off
Step 6: then manually check Hot Spot is off
Step 7: then manually check that any other wireless functionality is off
Step 8: AND THEN power off the phone/device and distance it from you while it goes through its shutdown procedures.

NOTES:

– Yes, in the above steps the first step is to turn on airplane mode even though subsequently there’s a step to fully power off the phone.

– If you have a mobile phone that allows you to easily and safely remove and store its battery, you might want to add “Step 9: Remove the device’s battery.”

– Despite all these steps (even with the power off), we have repeatedly found that the mobile phone is still emitting some type(s) of RF radiation. Also, it seems quite common that the mobile phone’s Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth may turn itself on after a short time, and it might do this repeatedly; therefore do whatever it takes to notice how often your mobile phone/wireless device might do this, so that you will know how often you need to manually check and re-disable the Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth and of course again each time also do the final step of powering off the phone/device. There might be default settings that you can change in your phone/device so that these functions cannot automatically turn on after you have turned them off; if you cannot find the settings, ask the manufacturer of your device; if there are no such settings, consider making a customer request/complaint to the manufacturer by indicating that you do want that capability and insist that it be made available. If the manufacturer receives enough complaints/requests/demands, the manufacturer might during a software update or patch or built into new models of phones/devices include a new setting or default so that a user can achieve more radiation-offness or can more easily and quickly achieve it. It’s important to NOT settle for needlessly putting this radiation into you, anyone else, pets, and environments as firsthand and secondhand radiation exposures.

IMPORTANT:

– Many functions of your phone/device do not require any wireless connectivity. You can learn how to Power On your mobile phone/wireless device with it remaining in Airplane mode with (hopefully) all the wireless radiation functions off and use functions such as alarm clock, cameras, listening to pre-downloaded music/podcasts/books, movies, etc., connect via cord to upload/download/stream/have an Internet (online) connection (including to do phone-calling via Internet, VoIP) (yes, even with your corded mobile phone). AND you can help other people learn to do such functions without emitting wireless radiation.

– For times when you must use a mobile phone for some type of wireless network connection:
a. After you push the Power On button, maximize the distance between your mobile phone and yourself and other people, not only but especially while the phone is doing its automatic start-up procedures.
b. You can easily learn how to turn on ONLY the one type of radiation-generating function you will actively use (instead of ALL the other radiation functions in your phone/device needlessly also generating radiation emissions and draining your battery).
c. After you complete your activity, you can again do the steps of turning off the radiation-generating function(s) you were using and then powering off the device.

– You can help other people learn and encourage these habits — so more firsthand and secondhand radiation exposures can be prevented for all persons and places.

Having habits of PracticeSafeTech and e-Hygiene fills your needs and desires for connection and convenience without continuously filling you, other people, your pets, and indoor and outdoor places with harmful wireless radiation.

Hopefully doing the above steps and tips will halt or substantially reduce all wireless radiofrequency and other types of electromagnetic radiation emissions of the device. These steps and tips are what we have learned from users, and there might be other steps required (now or at any future time).

As always, E.P.I.C. encourages you to:
prefer modern connectivity that is wireline, and neither generates nor receives wireless signals;
request wireline connections (plug-in cords, adaptors, etc.);
respect wireline connections;
provide wireline for others to use;
