Power transmitters installed on appliances (perhaps 10-15 of<br />

them per home) and each one is a radiofrequency radiation<br />

transmitter.<br />

• How can the FCC certify a system that has an unknown number of<br />

such transmitters per home, with no information on where they are<br />

placed?<br />

• Where people with medical/metal implants are present?<br />

(Americans with Disabilities Act protects rights)<br />

5) What assessment has been done to determine what pre-existing<br />

conditions of RF exposure are already present. On what basis can<br />

compliance for the family inside the residence be assured, when there<br />

is no verification of what other RF sources exist on private property?<br />

How is the problem of cumulative RF exposure properly assessed<br />

(wireless routers, wireless laptops, cell phones, PDAs, DECT or<br />

other active-base cordless phone systems, home security systems,<br />

baby monitors, contribution of AM, FM, television, nearby cell<br />

towers, etc).<br />

6) What is the cumulative RF emissions worst-case profile? Is this<br />

estimate in compliance?<br />

7) What study has been done for people with metal implants* who<br />

require protection under Americans with Disabilities Act? What is<br />

known about how metal implants can intensity RF, heat tissue and<br />

result in adverse effects below RF levels allowed for the general<br />

public. What is known about electromagnetic interference (EMI)
