In the United States, the Polar's wireless network is a certified transmitter module that emits
radio signals in compliance with 47 CFR 15 for commercial locations but may require operators
to provide additional equipment in residential areas to avoid interfering with emergency and
FCC licensed broadcasts. Similarly, the Safe Use of Lasers (Z136) standards published by
the American National Standards Institute do not have the force of law, but adherence to its
provisions may be required by some companies or local authorities to minimize risk and liability.
In particular, it may be necessary in commercial settings to formally designate a laser safety
officer, to post warning signs in areas with active lasers, and to document that all operators of
laser equipment have been properly trained.
