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
