Important Information
WARNINGS: LIFETAG SYSTEM
1. The Raymarine LifeTag System is an auxiliary safety system,
intended ONLY to provide additional protection to the vessel's crew.
DO NOT rely solely on this system for crew safety; DO ensure that all
safety instructions and procedures are obeyed in accordance with local
requirements.
2. Failure to operate the LifeTag System in accordance with its
operating instructions may result in unreliable or reduced system
performance.
3. 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 manufacturers'
recommendations for such devices.
CAUTION: 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 batteries 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 unreliable or reduced system performance.
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
The LifeTag and LifeTag Base Station are intended as an aid to safety on leisure vessels and small
workboats.
