4 Precautions —Continued 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 abso-lutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the micro-wave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tis-sue), exposure to low-level RF that does not pro-duce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF expo-sures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been con-firmed by additional research. UTX-1 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equip-ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. For Canadian Models (This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules.)
