Cell phone radiation Flight mode

Is cell phone radiation dangerous even in flight mode?

The radiation from cell phones in flight mode is massively lower than in regular operation. It is therefore generally recommended to always switch mobile devices to this mode if they are not currently in use. This is particularly beneficial for your health when carrying it in your trouser pocket or in your bra. It is also highly recommended to use a standard alarm clock instead of a cell phone when sleeping to reduce the radiation.

Is a cell phone in flight mode radiation-free?

When activating the so-called flight mode, it is important that all relevant radiation sources of the respective device are deactivated. Specifically, in addition to the connection to the telephone network, this also includes the radiation sources of WLAN, Bluetooth and NFC. This should generally always be checked to ensure that everything is actually deactivated. Depending on the manufacturer, this is very easy to implement. With Android, this can be done in the settings. With Apple, this can be done with a simple swipe upwards.

In an environment with poor network coverage, deactivating the mobile phone connection is very important. Due to the weak signal strength, the cell phone must compensate for this with a higher radiation strength. In a 2019 study***, scientists found that phones emit up to 10,000 times more radiation when the signal strength is weak.

What are the side effects of flight mode in terms of reducing radiation?

When traveling by bus, train, car or even two-wheeler, a cell phone repeatedly connects to the new transmission areas of the currently relevant transmission masts. Especially when dialing into a new transmission area, very high radiation intensities of cell phone radiation always occur. We therefore recommend that you do not activate your mobile phone connection when traveling.

At night, or in the vicinity of the sleeping area, it is highly recommended to use this option to reduce radiation in general. This allows the body to regenerate better during sleep.

The flight mode helps to save battery power and is therefore an environmentally friendly support, also as an alternative to switching off the cell phone completely. In general, it is also advisable to deactivate WLAN radiation reception. Telephone availability for calls is not possible in this mode.
