requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,

at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at

various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

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

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if

inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic

compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, obey all facility

posted notices about cellular phones. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using

equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Per FAA regulations cellular phones should be turned off when on board an aircraft.

Any use of a radio product must be in accordance with applicable regulations per

airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

If a person using the LOC8 system also uses any personal medical devices (i.e.

pacemaker, hearing aid, etc.), consult the manufacturer of the personal medical device

to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. A physician may be able to

assist in obtaining this information.

Operational Warnings

There are certain areas where you want to avoid operation of any radio product.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off any radio product prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere unless it is a radio product type especially qualified for use as “Intrinsically

Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL-approved). Do not remove, install, or

charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause

an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above

include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical

transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where
