Manual

Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike
“hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields”
may interfere with proper operation of the
phone. The phone may be forced to boost
its power to compensate, leading to an
increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientiic 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
scientiic evidence that any health hazard
exists.
