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 RF exposure from these products,

you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF

exposure from wireless phone use.

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 radio frequency energy (RF), the measured 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.

What about wireless phone
interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some

electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test

method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test

method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the

Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint
