Read this information before using a wearable two way pager.

First introduced in 2000, the two way pager is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic
products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your family, your office, information
services, and others. For the safe and efficient operation of your two way pager,
Observe these guidelines:

Your communicator is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) energy.

The communicator (ST902) transmitter operates in the frequency range of 896 MHz to 902 MHz,
and there receiver operates in the range of 929 MHz to 942 MHz. It utilizes commonly used frequency
modulation (FM) techniques. The unit transmits at a power level of max 2W for short periods of time
( from 0.078 ~ 0.16 seconds ). Transmissions occur infrequently and usually follow within a few
seconds of a page that has been received or when the unit is first turned on. In 1991, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies
and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated standard.

In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of the
updated Standard. The design of your communicator (PIC) complies with this updated Standard.

You may choose to turn the transmitter off in your communicator at any time. Refer to “ Turning the

transmitter Off “ on page 18.
