1 FYX Beacon Intended Use
1.1 What is the FYX Beacon?
FYX™ Beacon is a small, Bluetooth low energy identity device which transmits its presence and other
data of interest so others (applications or receiver devices) can discover it and acquire the data it has to
communicate. In some use cases the Beacon device is worn, attached to, or carried by the tracked entity.
The Beacon periodically wakes up, transmits a signal via short-range radio (Bluetooth LE) and returns to
the low-power state. The Beacon has no user interface (UI), cellular or GPS capabilities. The signal
includes a “rolling” ID that includes a sub-segment device type.
The rolling ID is intended to prevent anyone from being able to associate the Beacon signal with the
specific Beacon transmitting it or what applications or receiver devices received the beacon signal. For
that reason, the ID sent by the Beacon over the air on the Bluetooth low energy (BTLE) link changes
periodically. Any intruder listening in on the messages should not be able to associate the periodic
Beacons with each other or with the actual, permanent activation code (also known as Factory ID) of the
Beacon.
Proximate cellular and GPS enabled devices (smartphones, tablets and passive receivers) receive these
signals and act according to the use model associated with the device type indicated in the signal.

4 Regulatory Information
4.1 Safety and Wireless Devices
Scientific research on wireless devices and radio frequency (“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide
for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the
Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The
FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to usage of cell phones where it states, “The
scientific community at large believes that the weight of the scientific evidence does not show an
association between exposure to RF from cell phones and adverse health outcomes.” Still the scientific
community does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research
is being conducted around the world and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this field. You
can access the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov (Under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones >
Research.). You can also contact the FDA toll free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless
telephone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.”
The publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 2255322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) states that concerns about the potential
health effects of using cellular phones – “and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may
increase a person’s risk of developing brain cancer – are not supported by a growing body of research on
the subject.” You can access NCI’s review of the research at
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure.
You can, minimize usage of the device near the body. You can also place more distance between your
body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
Wireless devices marketed in the United States are required to meet safety requirements regardless of
whether they are used against the head or against the body.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The FYX Beacon has been tested to the limits for a Class B digital device, according to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. The FYX Beacon uses and radiates radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used according to instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications or be interfered
with. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If the FYX Beacon does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by removing the battery from the FYX Beacon, try to correct the interference by taking one or
more of the following actions:
Increase the distance between the 2net Hub and radio or television receiver
Consult the dealer where you bought your radio/TV or an experienced radio/TV technician
If the FYX Beacon is being interfered with try to correct the interference by taking the following actions:
Make sure that the FYX Beacon is no closer than 10 ft (3 m) of a Wi-Fi access point,
microwave oven or 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
Increase the distance betwe en the FYX Beacon and all other electronic equipment by moving
the FYX Beacon.
CAUTION: The FYX Beacon should not be used in airplanes, hospitals or locations where cellular telephones
and other electronic devices are prohibited.
4.1.4 Industry of Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
