Bluetooth Wholesale The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have come up with a magic number for cell phones and smartphones: 1.6 watts per kilogram. This number represents the maximum amount of radiation that they will allow phones to emit. The amount of radio frequency radiation the body absorbs from a device is known as the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR. All phones are assigned SAR ratings to give consumers an idea of about how much radiation the handset emits. Even with these safety guidelines, however, the World Health Organization put out a warning in 2011 that these so-called “safe” phones could still be related to brain cancer.

According to CNET.com, which has been tracking SAR levels for a few years now, the phone that emits the highest amount of radiation is the Blackberry Curve 9310, which has an SAR rating of 1.58. Close behind the Curve is the Motorola Droid Razr and the Droid Razr Maxx at 1.56. At the bottom of the top 10 list is the ZTE Score with an SAR rating of 1.45. These numbers aren’t foolproof, however. Depending upon the carrier

and the geographic area where the customer lives, the SAR number might be a little higher or a little lower at any given time.

Furthermore, the average American talks about 700 minutes per month on a smartphone or a cell phone. While access to text messaging and email might be starting to reduce that number, there are still plenty of people who spend a lot of time talking on the phone each day for business or pleasure.

As a store owner, these frightening radiation levels and suggestions that these ubiquitous devices may lead to cancer should lead you to one conclusion: Your store should carry Bluetooth devices for your customers.

Bluetooth Devices Cut Radiation Significantly

Besides the fact that a Bluetooth handsfree device is incredibly practical, and in fact necessary in states with laws against talking on the phone while driving without a handsfree device, the other major selling point of a Bluetooth device is that it cuts the amount of radiation absorbed by the human body to negligible levels.

Just how much difference is there for your brain between talking on a handset and talking

through a Bluetooth device? According to a 2008 article at CNN.com, a Bluetooth device emits 100 times less radiation than a handset.

Consider that number one more time: A Bluetooth device emits 100 times less radiation than a handset. A good analogy is to think of a handset as screaming radiation into the ear; a Bluetooth device still emits radiation but does so at a whisper.

Of course, it’s still a bad idea to put a Bluetooth device in the ear and leave it running when it’s not being used. However, even doing this has a much lower health risk than frequently talking on the cell phone’s handset.

Once you arm your customers with this bit of information, they would have to be crazy to keep talking through their handsets. If you carry Bluetooth headsets, they will be eager to purchase them from you.

Bluetooth Devices Go Beyond Talk

You may have customers, especially smartphone owners, who will say to you, “I talk on my phone so little that talking through my handset doesn’t really scare me.” If you have customers who make this objection, counter by asking what they do use their phones for.

Do they use it to listen to podcasts? Do they listen to Pandora? Do they carry any part of their music library on their phone?

Any customer who also uses his or her phone for the purposes of consuming media will also find a Bluetooth device to be convenient and useful. The latest generation of Bluetooth devices also stream audio through the headset. From joggers who like to listen to music as they run to podcast enthusiasts who want to listen to their favorite shows as they do errands, a Bluetooth headset allows them to listen wire-free.
