When traveling across time zones or between
Standard and Daylight Saving Time, allow your
phone to update the date and time automatically.
If you update the date and time manually, you will
not be able to use Bigfoot Unity.
You can safely use Bigfoot Unity at all times while
on an aircraft.
The Caps are classed as Medical-Portable
Electronic Devices (M-PED) that meet all
required M-PED emission standards for safe
use onboard an aircraft: RTCA/DO-160,
Section 21, Category M for radiated emission.
Some airport full-body scanners include x-ray
or millimeter radio-wave, to which you cannot
expose your Bigfoot Unity. The effect of these
scanners has not been evaluated and the
exposure may damage Bigfoot Unity or cause
inaccurate results. To avoid removing Bigfoot
Unity (i.e., the Sensor), you may request a
pat-down screening. If you do choose to go
through a full-body scanner, you must remove
your Sensor.
Bigfoot Unity can be exposed to common
electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic
interference (EMI), including airport metal
detectors. You can keep Bigfoot Unity on while
going through these.
