Safety in aircraft
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation and
communication systems or networks, using the Locator cellular or Bluetooth function
is against the law in many countries or prohibited by airline operators. Remember to
set the Locator to AIRPLANE Mode before boarding the aircraft, an airplane icon will
appear on the Locator display. The AIRPLANE Mode will turn off the cellular and
Bluetooth radios for safe air travel. The AIRPLANE Mode may be turned off by
pressing the SOS button for 3 seconds; the airplane icon will disappear on the Locator
display.
Safety in explosive atmospheres
When in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, remember to set the Locator to AIRPLANE Mode before entering the
area, an airplane icon will appear on the Locator display. The AIRPLANE Mode will
turn off the cellular and Bluetooth radios to reduce the possibility of sparks which
could result in bodily injury or death. Users are strongly advised not to use the
Locator at refuelling points such as service or gas stations, and should observe all
notices and restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants,
or where blasting operations are in progress. Once out of the explosive atmosphere
area, the AIRPLANE Mode may be turned off by pressing the SOS button for 3
seconds; the airplane icon will disappear on the Locator display.
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
Your TRiLOC GPS Locator contains a cellular radio and Bluetooth 4.0 radio, each
incorporating a transmitter and receiver. When either of these radios is on, they
receive or transmit RF energy. When the device communicates over the cellular
network, the network system controls the power level at which the Locator responds.
When the device communicates with another Bluetooth device, the power level and
communications intervals are tightly controlled by the locator so as not to exceed
regulatory requirements.
The radiated power is far below the internationally established radio frequency
exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
safety standards previously set by international safety bodies including: American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86.1986; Ministry of Health (Canada),
5
Safety and Regulatory Guide
Rev. 1.04
Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Your TRiLOC GPS Locator was designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons regardless of age and or
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measure known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limits for your device are 1.6W/Kg@1g when measured at the head and
4.0W/Kg@10g when measured at the extremity. The highest SAR value for this
device when tested was 0.269W/Kg@1g and 1.677W/Kg@10g respectively*.
SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of
this device while operating normally is typically below the indicated values above.
This is mainly due to the automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the cellular
network.
*NOTE: The TRiLOC GPS Locator has been shown to be compliant for localized
specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general exposure
limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement procedures specified in IEEE1528-2003,
and OET Bulletin 65 Supp. C.
WARNING: For held towards face operations, please maintain a 1.0cm
(0.4inch) separation distance during operation of the transmitter to ensure
compliance with RF Exposure regulations.
Emergency voice calling
Your TRiLOC GPS Locator is capable of two way cellular voice calls which may be used
to communicate with the individual in emergency situations. These calls may be both
received and answered automatically or initiated at the device by pressing the SOS
button when set accordingly using the User Web Site or Smart phone APP.
The voice call capability is meant to be used for emergency purposes only and should
not be used for casual calling.
The voice calls operate using radio frequency communication on cellular networks,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely
solely on any wireless device for emergency communications.
Simultaneous Voice and Data
Your TRiLOC GPS Locator incorporates the latest in machine to machine (M2M)
cellular communications technology and provides 2G and 3G communications
capability. The cellular network system controls which technology it uses depending
on the network servicers available at the location of use.
Where 3G (UMTS/WCDMA) communications is provided by the cellular operator, it will
be possible to track the location of the individual and communicate by voice at the
same time.

Safety and Regulatory Guide
Rev. 1.04
When only 2G is available, only one of the services may be at any one time. In this
instance, if an emergency call is initiated by the care giver or the wearer of the
device, you will be unable to track their location.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the device manufacturer to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external radio frequency (RF) energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Use the AIRPLANE Mode when in health care facilities when any regulations posted
instruct you to turn off your cellular phones. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. The AIRPLANE Mode
may be turned off by pressing the SOS button for 3 seconds; the airplane icon will
disappear on the Locator display.
Exposure to water
This product was designed to be waterproof to a depth of 3m (10 feet) or 0.3ATM
above standard atmospheric pressure measured at sea level. It may be worn for
bathing, showing and swimming continuously up to one hour. Exceeding the depth or
continuous exposure may result in water infiltration and damage to your product.
Do not insert any object into the microphone or speaker holes as this may damage
the waterproof membranes. Damage to these membranes will allow fluid to penetrate
into the Locator and may be a fire or burn hazard.
WARNING: If water or any other fluid enters the Locator, stop using it
immediately to avoid the possibility of fire or burns.
