How much radiation do the base stations for cordless phones emit?

On average, what level of radiation does the base station of a cordless phone constantly emit, and is it harmful enough to do any damage? Would someone who had a cordless phone base station on their home or work desk for several years accumulate cell and brain damage of any sort?



No curtly, one word responses please.How much radiation do the base stations for cordless phones emit?
None,zip, not a problem what so ever. In the first place, it is in a stand-by receive mode and is not transmitting. It just sits there waiting for the proper encoded input signal to open it's squelch circuit, so it can receive the signal from the correct hand set. It then sends a very low level RF signal back to the remote hand set to complete the duplex path. When a land line signal comes in, it turns on the same xmitter signal and calls the hand set. In either case, the very low level (that's why it won't work over much of a range, if you take the hand set out side and start walking down the street with it) RF signal that it emits and at the frequency it works on, gives less "radiation" then you can get walking on the sand of a beach in bright sun light. So...ignore all the I-net rumors you may be hearing re radiation from cell phones, 2-way radios etc.
