1. A wireless communicator, comprising:
- a modem operable to transmit and receive voice communication phone calls;
an accelerometer to measure an angle of orientation; and
a controller coupled with said modem and with said accelerometer, the controller being operable to restrict operation of said modem and to generate a prompt for the user to switch listening ear, when the wireless communicator is not being used in a low radiation listening mode and said accelerometer indicates a substantially stationary angle of orientation during an ongoing phone call longer than a pre-designated length of time.

16. A method for limiting radiation transmitted by a wireless communicator, comprising:
-
monitoring an angle of orientation of a wireless communicator, the wireless communicator being used to send and receive voice communication phone calls; determining whether the wireless communicator has been in a substantially stationary angle of orientation during an ongoing phone call longer than a designated length of time; and while said determining is affirmative; restricting operation of the wireless communicator when said determining is affirmative, comprising limiting usage of the wireless communicator when the wireless communicator is not being used in a low radiation listening mode; and generating a prompt for the user to switch listening ear. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
