Children And Cell Phones - Samsung Smartphone Owner's Manual

Unlike "hands-free" kits, these so-called "shields"
may interfere with proper operation of the phone.
The phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.

Children and Cell Phones

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including
children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to
reduce RF exposure apply to children and teenagers
as well.
● Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell
phone;
● Use speaker mode or a headset to place more
distance between the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using cell phones at all. For
example, The Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom made such a recommendation in December
2000. In this report, a group of independent experts
noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone
causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
