  1. Use mobile phones when you are mobile and use stationary phone (landline) when you are not mobile i.e. when you are at home or in office.
  2. Avoid using mobile phones for more than 8 hours a day.
  3. If your phone battery discharges, never recharge the battery the same day. This means that you have used up your quota of talk time for that day.

  8. Never put the batteries on charge in a closed room at night to prevent carbon monoxide formation.
  9. Avoid living in an area adjacent to mobile towers.
  10. If you have a family history of brain cancer, avoid mobile phones.
