What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want
to take steps to lower exposure to Radio Frequency energy (RF),
the measures described above would apply to children and
teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and
the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation
in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using
a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence
that any health hazard exists.

What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radio Frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact
with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defib-
rillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part
of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final
draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers,
and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This stan-
dard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemak-
ers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard spon-
sored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no
interference occurs when a person uses a "compatible" phone
and a "compatible" hearing aid at the same time. This standard
was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
