Safety

use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones

from these products, you can use measures like those described

above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.

k What about children using wireless phones?

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 radiofrequency energy (RF),

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 evidence exists that using

a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was

strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that

any health hazard exists.

k Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks

from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-

free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless

phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the
