DRAFT TrimTrac 1.5 Technical Manual v0.3ab 2
Detailed Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
The TrimTrac 1.5 is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1)
The TrimTrac 1.5 is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body. A
minimum separation of ten (10”) inches (25 cm) be maintained between the
TrimTrac 1.5 and any persons’ body.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals generated by the
TrimTrac 1.5.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. The TrimTrac 1.5 is not
intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body. A minimum separation of
ten (10”) inches (25 cm) be maintained between the TrimTrac 1.5 and any
persons’ body.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the TrimTrac 1.5 more than ten (10”) inches (25
cm) from their pacemaker with the device is operational.
Should not carry the TrimTrac 1.5 on their person
