9.6. Human Exposure
In order to comply with FCC/ISED RF Exposure requirements, this device must be installed to provide
at least 25 cm (9.8 inches) separation from the human body at all times. This requirement is relative to
the radome component which houses the cellular and satellite modem emitters.
Holding the device by the battery handle does not expose the human body to excessive RF exposure
since it is more than 25 cm from the cellular and satellite modem emitters. During normal operation,
please handle the unit by the battery pack.
Note that the cellular and satellite modems (if installed) are seldom powered on and transmitting. In
normal operation, these modems are seldom turned on for less than 60 seconds and have a duty cycle
of around 30 minutes to 24 hours. It is still suggested personnel hold the unit by the battery pack.
Note that with the battery pack removed the device does not transmit.
9.7. Conflict Minerals
RSAE Labs, Inc is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and is opposed to human rights
abuses. As part of that commitment, RSAE Labs seeks to source products, components and materials
from companies that share our values around human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility.
In August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules
implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
“Conflict Minerals Rule”). Under these rules, publicly traded companies must annually report to the
SEC whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain “conflict minerals”
originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or adjoining countries. Revenue
from the mining and transport of these conflict minerals is believed to be financing or benefiting groups
that are responsible for human rights violations. "Conflict minerals" refers to columbite-tantalite
(coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to
the location or origin of the minerals or derivative metals.
RSAE Labs supports industry-wide efforts to identify, reduce and hopefully eliminate the use of conflict
minerals originating from the DRC and adjoining countries to the extent believed to be financing or
benefiting groups committing human rights violations. RSAE Labs is committed to complying with any
applicable requirements under the Conflict Minerals Rule and has implemented a due-diligence process
to meet its obligations under the legislation.
Suppliers to RSAE Labs are expected to establish their own conflict minerals policies, due diligence
frameworks and management systems that are designed to prevent conflict minerals originating from
the DRC or an adjoining country, to the extent that they benefit groups committing human rights
violations, from being included in the products sold to RSAE Labs. In the event RSAE Labs determines
that a supplier has failed to develop and implement reasonable steps to comply with this Policy, RSAE
Labs reserves the right to take appropriate actions, which may include discontinuing the business
relationship with the supplier.
