Important Information
WARNING:LifeTag System
The Raymarine LifeTag system is only an aid to crew safety, and must not be
relied upon as the vessel's main crew safety system. It is the responsibility of the
Captain and all crew members to ensure that all safety instructions and
procedures are in place and obeyed in accordance with local requirements.
Failure to operate this system in accordance with the operating instructions may
result in unreliable or reduced system performance.
WARNING:Lithium Batteries
The LifeTag System Tags use non-rechargeable lithium batteries. Do not attempt
to recharge these batteries. Do not incinerate these batteries. Ensure that these
batteries are replaced with a battery of the same type and check local
regulations when disposing of spent batteries. Incorrectly fitting batteries or
using the wrong battery types may result in un-reliable or reduced system
performance.
General Care & Safety
The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be
affected if a LifeTag or LifeTag Base Station is used next to them. Observe the makers
recommendations for such devices.
RF Energy
The LifeTag and Lifetag Base Station are low-power radio transceivers. When on, they
intermittently transmit RF energy (radio waves). The LifeTag and LifeTag Base Station are designed
to comply with the limits for RF energy exposure for the general population set by national
authorities and international health agencies, for example BS EN 50371:2002.

Intended Use
