SAR STATEMENT
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a value that corresponds to
the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user of a
wireless phone. Skeeper is designed and manufactured so as
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by international standards. These
limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The SAR tests for the SKeeper were conducted with the device
transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency
bands.
The SAR limit is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg). The highest SAR
value of the SKeeper™ is 1.540 W/kg.
The highest measured SAR value is 1.540 W/kg with the
SKeeper™ situated next to the ear.
To reduce RF energy absorbed to your body, do not use the
SKeeper too close to your head/ear. Allow at least 10cm
distance between the device and your head/ear.

SKeeper™ - User Manual Page 7
SAFETY INFORMATION
To ensure safety and to maintain the SKeeper in good working
condition, please read and follow these rules:
SWITCH ON SAFETY
Do not switch the SKeeper on when wireless phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger.
LOUDSPEAKER
The SKeeper has built-in loudspeaker that allows you
to speak and listen from a short distance without
having to hold the device to your ear.
Do not hold the device near your ear (less than
10cm) because the volume may be extremely loud.
SAR
In order to keep RF energy absorption (SAR) to a
minimum, it is recommended that the SKeeper is
used at a minimum distance of at least 10cm
between the device and the head / ear.
ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST
Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to
operate the vehicle while driving. Your first
consideration while driving should be road safety.

SKeeper™ - User Manual Page 8
SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS
When in a hospital or any other health care facility,
observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch
the SKeeper off if instructed to do so by the
guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical
equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other
implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can
be affected by interference from the SKeeper when
placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential
danger, contact your physician to verify that the
equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients
are advised to keep their SKeeper away from the
pacemaker while it is on.
SWITCH OFF IN AIRCRAFT
Follow any restrictions. Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
SWITCH OFF WHEN REFUELING
Do not use the SKeeper at a refueling point. Do not
use near fuel or chemicals.

SKeeper™ - User Manual Page 9
SWITCH OFF NEAR BLASTING
Do not operate the SKeeper in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the SKeeper
when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a
safety hazard.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Your SKeeper receives and transmits radio frequency
energy while switched on. Remember that
interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets,
radios, computers or inadequately shielded
equipment.
Follow any special regulations and always switch off
the SKeeper wherever prohibited or when you
suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
INTERFERENCE
All wireless devices may be susceptible to
interference, which could affect performance.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Your SKeeper is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
ENVIRONMENT
Never leave the SKeeper exposed to direct sunlight
or in environments with high humidity or dust levels.

SKeeper™ - User Manual Page 10
CLEANING
Do not use liquids or strong detergents to clean the
SKeeper. Follow the cleaning instructions given
hereunder in this guide.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair the
SKeeper. Battery and SIM card replacement must be
executed only by an authorized service facility.
Never attempt to disassemble the SKeeper by
yourself. Contact an authorized service facility in case
of malfunctions or any other problems.
EMERGENCY CALLS
The SKeeper operates using radio signals and
cellular networks that cannot be guaranteed to
connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely upon any wireless device for essential
communication, for example emergency calls.
In order to make or receive calls, the SKeeper must
be switched on, its battery charged and in a service
area with adequate cellular signal strength.
AGE
SKeeper is not recommended for children under the
age of 3.

CONNECTING THE SKEEPER ACCESSORIES
The SKeeper comes with a choice of two straps for wearing the
device: a wrist strap, or a lanyard (neck strap).
WRIST STRAP
Wear the SKeeper on your right or left wrist at your
convenience (the same way that you wear a wrist watch).
To replace or remove the wrist strap from SKeeper, proceed as
follows:
1. Position the SKeeper on its front panel with the rear panel
facing towards you.
2. Use a tool (e.g. tweezers) to hold the spring on one of its
sides and press it toward the other side so that the spring
exits the hole.
3. Bend the wrist strap and free one side of the spring. Then
free the other side of the spring from the strap.
Take care during this step not to lose the spring.
4. Repeat the same steps for the other wrist strap.
To install the strap again, simply repeat the actions in reverse
order.
