If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we
do not know that there is — it is probably very small. But if
you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you
can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. 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 do
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.

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 Radio Frequency
(RF) energy, 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
