bgr.com • • technology
Key Points:
- The PlayStation 5 Safety Guide recommends sitting at least eight inches away from the console while it is operating to comply with FCC and Canadian radio frequency exposure guidelines.
- This distance specifically applies to the PS5's radiator area, allowing some flexibility in console placement and orientation for users needing extra space.
- The PS5's DualSense wireless controllers emit very low radio frequency energy levels, which Sony states are safe and pose no health risks to users, including cheaper third-party controllers.
- Both the PS5 and its controllers use Bluetooth technology operating in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency range, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation regulated to prevent harmful exposure.
- Following the FCC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) guidelines by maintaining a distance of more than eight inches helps keep radio frequency exposure within safe Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits.
