Sonos One emits RF even in wired mode

Hi there,
I'm trying to disable all the wireless of the Sonos One SL speaker. I've connected it via Ethernet and enabled Wired mode. However, it still emits R.F., approximately 20 mW/m2. I suppose it's a Bluetooth module. When it's in Wi-Fi mode, it emits approx. 800-1000 mW/m2, which is enormous, especially when placing this speaker in the bedroom.
My suggestion for the product team is completely disabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules when the device enters Wired mode.

P.S. I can upload a video with my measurement using a Cornet RF meter.

    acquittal

    I have calmed down a little now. but my head is beginning to bruise from banging it againg the wall, over and over.

    Are you randomly googling? The report you cited concludes:

    “In conclusion, our review does not indicate an association between any health outcome and radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from MPBSs at levels typically encountered in people’s everyday environment. The evidence that no relationship exists between MPBS exposure and acute symptom development can be considered strong according to the GRADE approach16 because it is based on randomized trials applying controlled exposure conditions in a laboratory. Regarding long-term effects, data are scarce and the evidence for the absence of long-term effects is limited. Moreover, very little information on effects in children and adolescents is available and the question of potential risk for these age groups remains unresolved. “

    In effect, the tests were all short term, there was no indication of short term damage, and says that this does not prove that it doesn’t cause long term damage. By inference, this does not prove anything. It was published by WHO (not written by WHO) along with thousands of others reports for peer review. In the Disclaimer: “The named authors alone are responsible for the views expressed in this publication “

    You realy must try harder! I will not be correctling your homework again!

     

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/radio-waves-reducing-exposure/radio-waves-reducing-exposure-from-mobile-phones

    The international guidelines recommended by Public Health England (PHE) provide protection for the population as a whole; however, uncertainties in the science suggest some additional level of precaution is warranted, particularly for sources such as mobile phones where simple measures can be taken to reduce exposure.

    Which proves what I said above:

    health organizations couldn't confirm that RF radiation is absolutely safe and says that further research is needed

     

    The argument doesnt annoy me. It may or may not be correct. There is a lack of evidence. A lack of evidence usually results in acquittal.

    You are randomly bouncing from one paper to another. This would indicate a lack of veracity in the argument. The paper published by WHO is about 11 years old. The guidelines produced by PHE are again precautionary. The PHE statement does not prove anything, it merely advises on taking sensible measures.

    What annoys me is, as per your original link, there is an industry out there trying to monopolize on peoples fears. Additionally there are political movements moving in on the action; cue idiots attacking 5G towers blaming them for Covid. You posted the link to the snake oil purveyors.

    If you feel strongly about something, which you appear to, then please post legitimate links.

    If you are going to make over-arching statements (i.e. what you actually said was "All Health Organisations...") expect someone to correct you.

    Use Hands Free! Correction: Go Analog Hands Free.

     

    I didn’t bookmark studies and articles, which I read a long time ago, sorry for that.

    But I’ve sent one and I think it’s worth reading: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1060927842647/irradiated.pdf
