Precautions—Continued The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are abso- lutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the micro- wave range while being used.
