Avoid Direct Contact with Body RF Exposure:
Do not wear the Aetrex GPS Shoes if the shoes are damaged or any
part of the GPS unit or antenna comes in contact with the skin. The
Aetrex GPS Shoes were designed so that they create a safe distance
between the body and the GPS device. To maintain compliance
requirements, always use an insole with your shoes. Should the shoes
become damaged, or if any interior becomes exposed, avoid wearing
them.
Other Safety Precautions:
Interference:
As with all wireless devices, your Aetrex GPS Shoes may experience
electrical interference which may affect their performance.
Exposure to Water & Inclement Weather:
Your Aetrex GPS Shoes are not water resistant or waterproof. While
they are designed as ordinary shoes, it is recommended the shoes
be used where it is relatively dry and not subjected to water, snow, or
submersion or severe elements which could affect performance of the
GPS tracking.
Qualified Service:
The Aetrex GPS Shoes do not contain any user serviceable or
replaceable parts (except for shoelaces). Non-working shoes must
be returned for repair or replacement to Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. with
prior authorization as set forth in the Warranty procedures. Do not
disassemble the shoes or their accessories. If service or repair is
required, contact the manufacturer. If the shoes are disassembled,
the risk of shock, fire, personal injury or damage may result and any
warranty will be voided.
Accessories:
Use only manufacturer approved accessories for your GPS Shoes. Do
not connect any other devices. Doing so will void the warranty.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information:
The Aetrex GPS Shoes meet certain government requirements for
exposure to radio waves. The shoes contain a radio transmitter and
receiver similar to a cellular phone. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emissions limits from exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
government when used in accordance with the instructions set forth
in this manual. These limits are part of 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 organization 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 and
health. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.1 Tests of SAR are conducted using
standard operation positions specified by the FCC with the GPS 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 GPS device while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the GPS 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 the device
is to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a GPS device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure when used in
accordance with manufacturer instructions. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. near or on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The SAR value for the locator is less than
1.6 W/kg measured at a minimum separation.
FCC Compliance & Warning to Users:
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules, and may generate
or use radio frequency energy. Operating this device is subject to
the following conditions: (i). This device may not cause harmful
interference; and (ii). This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. however, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
