“Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 1.0 cm. To meet RF

exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this

distance away from the body.”

“This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for bodyworn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 1.5 cm away from your body.”

“The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more.”

There is a veritable flood of new studies reporting sperm damage in humans and animals, leading to substantial concerns for fertility, reproduction and health of the offspring. Exposure levels are similar to those resulting from wearing a cell phone on the belt, or in the pants pocket.

“A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when

playing games or watching video… To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged

use, hold iPad some distance from your eyes, use iPad in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.”

“Caution: Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation: The device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact normal

operation is minimized. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment

should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body.”
