IMPORTANT Warnings: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR Astro 220 DOG TRACKING SYSTEM: Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals-Your product is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless radios. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1‑1992; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission on Non‑Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 130 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your radio complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards). For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Antenna Care-Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Warning: Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Electronic Devices-Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio. Pacemakers-The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is 62 Astro Dog Tracking System Owner's Manual
