comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety

margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.

The exposure standard for cellular communication devices employs a unit of measurement known as

the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory

authorities is 1.6 W/kg. The tests for SAR have been conducted based on the standard operating

position (on the ankle) the tracking device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested

frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR

level of the device while operating is usually well below the maximum value. This is because the

cellular device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to

reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.

Before a cellular device is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and

certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each

government for safe exposure.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

2.3 Safety and General Information

Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your ReliAlert

device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits

RF energy. When communicating with this device, the service network handling your call controls the

power level at which your device transmits.

Your ReliAlert device is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country

concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
