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 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. This device has been certified by government regulatory bodies as
meeting all associated safety and operational certifications as mandated by these agencies.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

2.3 Safety and General Information
Extended Storage Care
For optimal operational performance the ReliAlert
TM
device and batteries should be stored in areas not
exceeding 75º F (24º C).
Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your ReliAlert
TM
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.
