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 themicrowave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can producehealth effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does notproduce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Manystudies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, butsuch findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This modelhas been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limitsset forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)Exposure rules.Canon U.S.A., Inc.One Canon Park, Melville, NY 11747, USATel No. 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666)The Mains plug is used as the disconnect device.
