2 Personal Safety and Health

Responsibilities of Administrating Agencies

The ReliAlert

device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

It is the direct and sole responsibility of all agencies (government or private) that oversee use of

ReliAlert

to assure, and formally document, that wears of ReliAlert

devices understand the safety

and health topics below.

It is also the direct and sole responsibility of such parties to assess special individual needs in order to

protect the health and well-being of those wearing ReliAlert

devices. This includes identifying any

special environmental or personal health needs specific to an individual wearer of the device.

This device is to only be worn on the ankle.

2.1 Personal Hygiene

Simple hygiene measures can avoid discomfort and skin irritations.

The ReliAlert

is designed to be worn over a standard sock. This aids in maintaining sanitary

conditions. Not wearing over a sock or not changing socks on a daily basis may result in skin

irritations or other health concerns.

For additional comfort the wearer of a ReliAlert

may elect to wear a thick-material wrist sweat band

just below the main body of the ReliAlert

. Typically the band would be worn just above the ankle

bone but may also be used to elevate the ReliAlert

to accommodate for special foot wear like work

boots. Such a band may be purchased from most any sporting goods store.

2.2 Specific Absorption Rate Data

The ReliAlert

device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

Your tracking device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed

limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on 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 or health.

The exposure standard for cellular communication devices employs a unit of measurement known as
