Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure
This device is a portable transmitter and receiver that uses an internal antenna to send and receive low levels
of radio frequency (RF) energy for data communications. The device emits RF energy below the published limits
for portable use when operating in its maximum output power mode and when used with Garmin authorized
accessories. To comply with RF exposure compliance requirements, the device should be used as described in
the manual. The device should not be used in other configurations.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified
power level in different channels. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov after searching
on FCC ID:Z5O-BP707.
14 Device Information
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin
service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and
void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying the RF exposure compliance. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF Statement
Medical Electrical Equipment requires special precautions regarding ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the following EMC information.
• Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with portable and mobile RF communication
equipment (e.g. cell phones) and can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
• The device uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not
likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
• The device is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the device
than the recommended separation distance, calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of
the transmitter. The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result
in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed
to verify that they are operating normally.

Declaration - Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity
For equipment and systems that are not life-supporting and are specified for use only in a shielded location.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result
in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed
to verify that they are operating normally. Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such
as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of the unit,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
The Index BPM device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the following table.
The customer or the user of the Index BPM device should assure that it is used in such an environment.
