Abstract:
1. A device for mitigating health risk from cell phone usage, comprising: a cell phone for receiving voice communications, the cell phone being operable by electric power and being capable of generating excitatory radiation; an earphone electrically connected to the cell phone via a cord of sufficient length to permit the cell phone to be located a safe distance from brain tissue during operation of the cell phone, a mechanism for winding the cord for storage and unwinding the cord for use of the earphone, an automatic shutoff mechanism preventing operation of the cell phone unless the cord is unwound at least a minimum distance, the shutoff mechanism comprising a switch movable to control the power depending on the diameter of wound cord engaging the switch, whereby a cell phone user is able to use the cell phone only when the cord is extended at least a minimum distance from the cell phone whereby the excitatory radiation of the cell phone is at a sufficient distance from the brain tissue to prevent brain tissue damage from the excitatory radiation.
