GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning – Modifications: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Warning – Internal Battery: The rechargeable battery inside the SPOT X is not designed to be replaced by the
consumer. If replacement is needed, have an authorized service person replace the battery with one of the
same size and type.
Warning – Blasting Area: To avoid interference with blasting operations, turn your SPOT X off when in a
“Blasting Area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Warning – Potential Explosive Atmosphere: Turn off the SPOT X when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Warning – Driving: Always follow safe driving practices and local rules and regulations regarding the use of
wireless devices while driving. Always park safely prior to sending or using the SPOT X.
Warning – Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between the SPOT X and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
Warning – Pacemakers: Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In order to prevent
such interference, you may want to consult the manufacturer of your hearing aid.
Warning - Specific Absorption Rate (SAR):
FCC / Canada: The SPOT X has been shown to be compliant to localized Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for
uncontrolled environment/ general exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE STD C95.1-1992 and has been
tested in accordance with measurement procedure specified in IEEE 1528-2013 and IEC 62209- 2.2010 using
a separation distance of 0mm.
European Union (CE RED): The SPOTX has been shown to be compliant for localized specific absorption rate
(SAR) for uncontrolled environment / general exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1999 and
has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in EN50566:2017 and EN62209-
2:2010 using a separation distance of 0 mm.
NOTE: If concerned about RF exposure during use, place the SPOTX anywhere it is not directly touching
your body after functions have been activated. The RF exposure level drops off dramatically with distance
from the SPOTX.
