Safety Guidelines
But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is
a key factor in how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day, you could
place more distance between your body and the source
of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you could use a headset and
carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data does not demonstrate that wireless phones
are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If
you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will reduce
RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged
from using wireless phones at all. For example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in December 2000.
They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
