FCC Compliance Statement
United States FCC, Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications by the user to the equipment that are made without
written approval by BI Incorporated could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and base station.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the base station is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Industry Canada Compliance Statement
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de
l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Operation and EME Exposure
The equipment represented herein is designed to comply with the following national
and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):

Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves
LOC8 includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
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
and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
know as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/
kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the
FCC with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model 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
1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety for
the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

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://
www.ctia.org.
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
LOC8 User Guide Preface
8-90-00160-0, Revision 1 © 2014 BI Incorporated BI Proprietary & Confidential ix
®
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off radio products when
near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
