Appendix B
Safety and Usage Tips
About
Bluetooth
and Health
Bluetooth
wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals
to connect a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs,
notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices
at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have
traditionally connected these devices.
Bluetooth
products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output
power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a
working range of approximately 10 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from
Bluetooth
products are far below
recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical
Bluetooth
devices (1mW)
reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
