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.

by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless device at
