Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and Your Health

The products with Bluetooth® wireless technology, like other radio devices, emit

radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by devices

with Bluetooth® wireless technology however is far much less than the

electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile

phones.

Because products with Bluetooth® wireless technology operate within the

guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,

TOSHIBA believes Bluetooth® wireless technology is safe for use by consumers.

These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific

community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists

who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
