Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize
your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place more
distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that "hands-free kits can be
used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the
absorption of RF energy in the head because the device, which is the source of the
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the device is
mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless devices marketed in the U.S. are required
to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head
or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety
limit". Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device with an
antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless
device manufacturer's instructions for the safe operation of your device.
Do wireless devices 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 device 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK's]
recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
