LAN. Please refer to the corresponding section which shows specification of Bluetooth or wireless LAN. Wireless LAN specification. 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 absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (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 same biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02)) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02))has been shown to be (0.449)W/kg at (Body).
