ZoneFlex 7372 AP TX power tuning

We are using ZD1100 + ZF7372 AP's
We noticed that our WiFi network can be discovered also outside of our office.
I checked the TX power setting and it is set to auto, however I can see that all AP are actually operating at Full.
How can I know if it makes sense to reduce the power and to which setting? and that it will not impact clients performance?
We have quite a good coverage and I estimate that all clients are within 10 meters or less from an AP with no major interference in the way.

Hi Yuval,

   I can assure you that WiFi RF is not a hazard to human health.  And I quote,
http://www.ecx.co.za/pdfs/mpe-limits-safety-testing.pdf
 
Ruckus Wireless products employ IEEE 802.11 radio technologies which are categorized by wireless 
regulators as "Low-Power" and/or "Short-Range Devices". Ruckus Wireless products, like all wireless 
products, are required to be independently tested for compliance with national regulatory and health and 
safety standards. As part of the compliance testing, products are evaluated to ensure full compliance with 
IEC/EN62311 and OET-65 guidelines for human exposure for radio frequencies and electromagnetic 
fields.

However people should adhere to the '6-inch' rule, issued by a number of organisations, including the British
Heart Foundation (http://goo.gl/2az7Q) and manufacturers of Wi-Fi products, like Apple, that basically says
you shouldn't put any wireless or electrical device, or strong magnets closer than 15cm or 6-inches to your
pacemaker.

Thanks
