Video Game Consoles 

Home gaming consoles like XBox, Nintento, Playstation and the Wii emit radiation.

• Some base units emit radiation as long as they are plugged in, even if the unit is turned "Off."  The XBox, even in the "OFF" position, will continue to emit radiation.  The Xbox game cannot be played without radiation being emitted. 
  

• Wireless handsets and consoles emit radiation as well.
  

• Radiation emissions intensify when you are pressing buttons and playing the game. 

The Simple Solution: Buy fully wired systems so that the consoles are wired. 

Many game consoles emit radiation as long as they are plugged in!

The Fine Print Warning on the X Box 360 Gaming Console states:

To comply with IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

20 cm!  

​

Buyer Beware:  Resting the game console on your belly means you are exposing that area to untested levels of radiation.
