Oh my goodness, that's an incredible claim and sounds awful. Please explain to us how this mechanism works? Is there an actual burning sensation to warn us that we are melting our brains or is it more insidious, like a 1,000 watt microwave oven, that will melt our brains from the inside? Wow, I would think the authorities should be alerted to this serious health concern. How could the product liability lawyers even allow this to happen? Amazing. I'm glad you've alerted us to this safety issue.

Let me clarify for those that did not detect the bit of humor in that statement. The base unit is an amplifier, for this reason having the base unit in close proximity to the skull would increase the risk for brain tumors, as high power RF is a known source of brain cancer. With RF signals the risk from them drops logarithmically as you get away from the base unit ie having it 1" from your brain may theoretically lower the risk 10x, and having it 2" may lower the risk 100x etc which is why the unit is not a risk when sitting on the dashboard of our car. If you read the instructions that come with the unit, it does say not to put the phone in the amplifier cradle up to your head it is just not very clearly spelled out (IMHO).
