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

your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device
with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should

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

their children's RF exposure may choose to restrict their
