GENERAL NOTES

In order to ensure SAR compliance, the GeoSKeeper

must only be used as a wrist worn device. No other usage

configuration is permitted.

The GeoSKeeper is NOT a medical device

The highest measured SAR value is 1.26 W/kg with the

GeoSKeeper situated at a distance of 1 cm in front of the

mouth. To reduce RF energy absorbed to your body, do

not use the GeoSKeeper too close to your head/mouth.

Allow at least 10cm distance between the device and your

head/mouth.

GeoSkeeper™ - Q User Manual Rev: 1.5 Draft Page 8

SWITCH ON SAFETY

Do not switch the GeoSKeeper on where
wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may
cause interference or danger.

LOUDSPEAKER

The GeoSKeeper has built-in loudspeaker that
allows you to speak and listen from a short
distance without having to hold the device to
your ear.
Do not hold the device near your ear (less than
10cm) because the volume may be extremely
loud.

SAR

In order to keep RF energy absorption (SAR) to
a minimum, it is recommended that the
GeoSKeeper is used at a minimum distance of
at least 10cm between the device and the head
or ear.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands
free to operate the vehicle while driving. Your
first consideration while driving should be road
safety.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To ensure safety and to maintain the GeoSKeeper in good
working condition, please read and follow these rules:

GeoSkeeper™ - Q User Manual Rev: 1.5 Draft Page 9

SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS

When in a hospital or any other health care
facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobile phones. Switch the GeoSKeeper off if
instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in
sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be
sensitive to RF energy.

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other
implanted medical equipment and hearing aids
can be affected by interference from the
GeoSKeeper when placed close to the device. If
in doubt about potential danger, contact your
physician to verify that the equipment is properly
shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to
keep their GeoSKeeper away from the
pacemaker while it is on.

SWITCH OFF IN AIRCRAFT
Follow any restrictions. Wireless devices can
cause interference in aircraft.

SWITCH OFF WHEN REFUELING

Do not use the GeoSKeeper at a refueling point.
Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

GeoSkeeper™ - Q User Manual Rev: 1.5 Draft Page 10

SWITCH OFF NEAR BLASTING

Do not operate the GeoSKeeper in the presence
of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the
GeoSKeeper when you are near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress. Operation of any
electrical equipment in potentially explosive
atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

Your GeoSKeeper receives and transmits radio
frequency energy while switched on. Remember
that interference can occur if it is used close to
TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately
shielded equipment.
Follow any special regulations and always
switch off the GeoSKeeper wherever prohibited
or when you suspect that it may cause
interference or danger.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless devices may be susceptible to
interference, which could affect performance.

WATER-RESISTANCE

Your GeoSKeeper is not water-resistant. Keep it
dry.

ENVIRONMENT

Never leave the GeoSKeeper exposed to direct
sunlight or in environments with high humidity or
dust levels.

GeoSkeeper™ - Q User Manual Rev: 1.5 Draft Page 11

CLEANING

Do not use liquids or strong detergents to clean
the GeoSKeeper. Follow the cleaning
instructions given hereunder in this guide.

QUALIFIED SERVICE

Only qualified personnel may install or repair the
GeoSKeeper. Battery and SIM card
replacement must be executed only by an
authorized service facility.
Never attempt to disassemble the GeoSKeeper
by yourself. Contact an authorized service
facility in case of malfunctions or any other
problems.

EMERGENCY CALLS

The GeoSKeeper operates using radio signals
and cellular networks that cannot be guaranteed
to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any wireless
device for essential communication, for example
emergency calls.
In order to make or receive calls, the
GeoSKeeper must be switched on, its battery
charged and in a service area with adequate
cellular signal strength.

AGE

GeoSKeeper is not recommended for children
under the age of 3.

GEOSKEEPER DESCRIPTION

GEOSKEEPER OVERVIEW

The GeoSKeeper™ (“GeoSKeeper” or the Product) is a

small wrist wearable wireless communication device that
lets you stay in touch anytime, anywhere. You do not have
to dial a number to establish contact. All you have to do is
press a single button and you are able to contact people
who may help you in case of need.
GeoSKeeper has a built-in GPS receiver to allow locating
your position. The position data is automatically sent to a
secured website.
Authorized people will be able to locate your position on
an interactive map displayed on that website.
One can limit the permissible zone of movement
(Geofencing). Any violation of the defined limits will be
automatically reported via an SMS to a selected cellular
phone or a pre defined email address and will clearly show
on the map.
The GeoSKeeper is designed for use on quad band GSM
networks (850/900/1800/1900).

With GeoSKeeper you can:

1. Contact a safety number by pressing a single button.
When pressing the safety button – your location will be
automatically detected.

2. Initiate a call to a safety number even when the device
is turned off.

3. Send current position via SMS or GPRS.

4. Receive a sound notification if you left the predefined
zone or returned to it. Your authorized relatives will

GeoSkeeper™ - Q User Manual Rev: 1.5 Draft Page 14

receive the appropriate SMS and email notifications to
locate your position via website including driving
instructions to that location.

5. Contact up to 3 additional phone numbers with a single
touch of a button (speed dialing).

6. Send preset text messages to the speed dialing
numbers.

7. Receive calls from anyone or limit the GeoSKeeper to
receive phone calls only from authorized callers (up to
10 contacts).

8. Use GeoSKeeper in silent mode (without speaker
activation). The other party can listen in to the
GeoSKeeper environment.

9. Use the Internet to remotely configure the
GeoSKeeper.

10. Configure the GeoSKeeper to answer automatically or
manually.

11. Wear the GeoSKeeper on your wrist.

This guide explains how to use the dual band
GeoSKeeper and make the most of its features.
