Only when in use - but, of course, that is when you are holding it up to your ear. If you have a cordless house phone, the handset emits radiation only when in use. But the cordless base/recharging station where the antenna is emits radiation constantly (just like a cell phone tower with antennas). If you have a WI-Fi system, your Wi-Fi router also emits radiation constantly. Having a Wi-Fi router is like having a cell phone tower in your house! Your laptop that uses Wi-Fi emits radiation when you connect to the Wi-Fi system (kind of like the cell phone). The problem is with the continuous types of exposure from base stations and for people who have a cell phone glued to their ear for hours a day. The units kids use of texting also emit, but at least when texting they do not hold them to their ear - that helps.

Does it only emit radiation when you are actually talking? Or all the time??? Thanks. PT
