It has been 10 years since I had a capsule endoscopy. At that time I was told to not go near MRI equipment and to avoid places with ham radio equipment. I guess since there has been increase in the number of places using wireless networks, they may have found that they interfere. Why not call the center doing the test and ask ahead of time?

OK, I'll let a little information out here. Wireless "On the information leaflets it says not to go near wireless computer networks.Does this include normal household computers that are wireless power drops off with the reciprocal of the distance from the antenna.

Plain English touching the plastic antennas you can get the maximum electromagnetic radiation through the antenna covering. it drops off at a rate 1/x. x being distance. I doubt you get close enough to disturb it recording functions. Because if that were the case you would be warned of microwave ovens the start at 600 watts. Basic network gear is less than 1 Watt. More likely less than 1/10 watt

The disclosure/warning is a CYA notice. Just like turn your cell phone off in a hospital.

Forget about it.

As to the ham radio thing someone else mentioned. Been one over 35 years Very few have gear on the 2.4 gig band

From Wikipedia:

Wireless network equipment compatible with IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.4 GHz section of the S band. Digital cordless telephones operate in this band too. Microwave ovens operate at 2495 or 2450 MHz. IEEE 802.16a and 802.16e standards utilize a part of the frequency range of S band, under WiMAX standards most vendors are now manufacturing equipment in the range of 3.5 GHz. The exact frequency range allocated for this type of use varies between countries.
In North America, 2.4 - 2.483 GHz is an ISM band used for unlicensed spectrum devices such as cordless phones, wireless headphones, and video senders, among other consumer electronics uses, including Bluetooth which operates between 2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz.
Amateur radio and amateur satellite operators have two S-band allocations, 13 cm (2.4 GHz) and 9 cm (3.4 GHz).

and then there is Blue tooh not mentioned in the notice

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security.
