Trackunit Kin

Detailed Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

The Trackunit KIN unit is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. Periodically the Trackunit KIN
wakes up either due to activity or by a timer. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals for a short period of time.
The Trackunit KIN unit is designed for assets tracking only.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals generated by the Trackunit KIN unit.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6")
inches be maintained between a radio transmitter and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. The following precautions apply:

The Trackunit KIN unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body.

It is always recommended that a minimum separation of 8" inches (20 cm) to be maintained
between the Trackunit KIN unit and any persons' body after end installation.

Posted Facilities

The Trackunit KIN unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any assets installed with the
Trackunit KIN must not enter any facility where posted notices prohibit the use of wireless devices
or two-way radios.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

The Trackunit KIN is neither intrinsic safe nor ATEX, IECEx or Hazloc certified for Zone 1
operations.
The Trackunit Kin is completely shielded and constructed in fire retarded plastic and poses a low
risk of any battery leakage or potential short circuit after installation that can cause a spark or
ignition of explosive gasses or dust.
It is however recommended to examine the potential risk if used in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Specific Human Absorption Rates (SAR)

The Trackunit KIN unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body. A minimum
separation of ten (8") inches (20 cm) is to be maintained between the Trackunit KIN and any
persons' body. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site at
