SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Precautions:
This section explains certain precautions and safety guidelines
you should follow when using or wearing your Aetrex GPS Shoes.
READ ThIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE WEARING OR
USING YOUR AETREx GPS ShOES, AND be aware of these safety
precautions. Ignoring these guidelines may be illegal, dangerous, or
may result in bodily injury or damage.
Electronic Devices:
The Aetrex GPS Shoes contain a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When they are ON, they receive and also send out radio
frequency (RF) signals. Today, most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF energy. however, certain electronic equipment may
not be properly shielded from the RF energy emitted from the Aetrex
GPS Shoes. Therefore, the use of your Aetrex GPS Shoes may be
restricted in certain situations.
Exposure to Radio (RF) Signals:
Although the GPS Shoes are not designed or intended for handheld
use, their design nonetheless complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards). In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels
for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both the U.S, and international
standards bodies: ANSI C95.1(1992); NCRP Report 86 (1986); and
ICNRP (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 (C951).
Pacemakers:
The health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between
a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should always keep the Aetrex GPS Shoes more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the device is on.
•
Should not carry the Aetrex GPS Shoes around their neck or
near the chest area.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, remove the Aetrex GPS Shoes immediately.
Other Medical Devices or Equipment:
If you use any other electronic personal medical device or equipment,
consult your physician to determine if such devices are adequately
shielded from external RF energy before using your Aetrex GPS Shoes.
Posted Facilities:
Do not wear your Aetrex GPS Shoes where posted notices prohibit cell
phone usage because of potential harmful interference.
General:
•
All rechargeable batteries wear out with time and usage and have
a limited number of charging cycles. As time and cumulative use
increase, battery performance will diminish. It is important that you
monitor daily battery charge capacity and overall battery life to assure
that remaining battery life is consistent with your tracking needs.
•
Aetrex GPS Shoes are made for normal walking, not running, or other
specialized sport uses.
•
Do not abuse the shoes. Avoid striking, shaking, or shocking.
•
Do not short circuit the recharging terminals with metal or other items.
Airport Security & Flying Restrictions:
Because your Aetrex GPS Shoes contain an embedded electronic/
cellular GPS transmitting device, the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) and/or airline security measures may prohibit the
wearing or carrying the shoes in carry-on luggage before boarding an
airplane. Your shoes may be confiscated and subject you to additional
security clearance measures. DO NOT WEAR OR CARRY ON your
Aetrex GPS Shoes without first checking with your airline. Additionally,
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations prohibit the use
of cellular devices, such as your Aetrex GPS Shoes while in the air.
Always request and receive prior approval from an authorized airline
representative whenever wearing, carrying on, or using your Aetrex
GPS shoes aboard an airplane, to prevent any possible interference
with electronic equipment.
Vehicles:
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
