The wireless adapter and your health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter,
however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless
devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of
scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research
literature. In some situations or environments, the use of the wireless adapter
may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
