4A. Important Safety Information

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. Their recommendation
to limit cell phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence
that any health hazard exists.
