read and follow your wireless phone manufacturer’' s instructions for the safe
operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “"the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children. ”" The
FDA/FCC website further states that “"some groups sponsored by other
national governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using wireless phones at all”" . For example, the Stewart Report from the
United Kingdom [“"UK”"] 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. [The UK’' s ]
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary;
it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of
the UK’' s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “"mobile”"), or you
can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies
of the UK’' s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at
http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “"mobile”"). Parents who wish to
reduce their children’' s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’' s
wireless phone use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
