frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by

(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may occur, but such findings
