You can minimise your exposure to radio waves:

Only make short calls on your mobile phone.
Children should only use mobile phones if absolutely necessary. Find out the relative specific absorption rate (SAR) before you buy a new mobile phone. This is how much radio wave energy is absorbed into the body from each type of mobile phone. Mobile phone retailers have a responsibility to make this information available to you before you buy. The lower the SAR the lower your exposure to radio waves.
Keep your mobile phone away from your body when it is in standby mode.
Only use your phone when the reception is strong - this is often indicated by bars of energy on your phone screen. Weak reception causes the phone to use more energy to communicate with the base station.
Use a mobile phone that has an external antenna. This keeps the radio waves as far away from your head as possible.

The DTLR recommends the following guidelines for safe use of mobile phones in cars:

Keep your mobile phone switched off when you are driving. If you need to use your mobile phone, stop in a safe place (not on a motorway or on a hard shoulder).
Hands-free devices are not considered to be safer as the driver is still distracted.
