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 tumors or other ill effects. [The UK's] recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UK's leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search "mobile"), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK's annual reports on mobile device and RF are available online at http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search "mobile"). Parents who wish to reduce their children's RF exposure may choose to restrict their children's wireless device use. Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
