It is your responsibility to dispose of your waste by taking it to a designated collection point where electrical and electronic devices are recycled properly. Collecting and recycling your waste 1.3/ TRAINING - RESPONSIBILITY Training and practicing so you understand your device com- prehensively is essential for a successful avalanche search. Off-piste skiing/snowboarding and ski touring/splitboarding are risky activities, and wearing a transceiver should never affect your decision making in risky areas. Know when to turn round and go back. 1.4/ STORAGE - BATTERIES You must store your device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you plan to store it for a long period, remove the batteries, as the warranty does not cover damage will help conserve natural resources and protect the envi- ronment and people's health. For more information on the nearest recycling centre to your home, contact your local authority, the household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. 6 EN caused by battery failure (including loss of waterproofing). We recommend that you check your device regularly, includ- ing the operation of the OFF/SEND/SEARCH selector and the condition of the display. Also, ensure there is no trace of cor- rosion in the battery compartment. The EVO BT operates exclusively with three AAA/LR03 alka- line batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries. The label in the battery compartment is important for customer ser- vice, do not remove it. When you change batteries, change all 3 batteries at the same time. After changing the batteries, make sure that the cover is closed properly. Important for Switzerland: appendix 4.10 of standard SR814.013 applies to batteries. Disposing of a battery in a fire or furnace or mechanically crushing or cutting a battery can cause an explosion. Keeping a battery in a very high-temperature environment can cause an explosion or the escape of flammable liquid or gas. A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may cause an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas. An explosion may result if the wrong type of battery is used. 1.5/ SETTING UP YOUR DEVICE During the start-up phase, press and hold the marking but- ton. The Bluetooth pictogram appears. You can then connect your transceiver to your smartphone. The ARVA application offers a number of services, including the opportunity to register, set up and maintain your transceiver. 2/ TRANSMIT MODE 2.1/ TURNING ON THE DEVICE The transceiver is off when the rotating selector switch is in the OFF position. To turn on the device, rotate the OFF/ Turn on the transceiver by pressing on marking to activate Bluetooth Connect my transceiver to the app Configure my transceiver 7 EN Once the start-up phase is complete, the device prompts the user to conduct a GROUP CHECK (see paragraph 3.1/ GROUP AND FREQUENCY TEST) and then automatically switches to transmit mode. A blinking arrow in the upper middle of the screen and a characteristic melody confirm that your trans- ceiver is in transmit mode. 2.2/ WEARING THE DEVICE Make sure that the carabiner on the elastic attachment lan- yard is connected to the holster’s waist belt (2 positions, left or right), position the device in the holster with the screen The device then displays the remaining battery life. We advise you to replace the batteries as soon as the battery life indica- tor drops below 50%. …

Centr’Alp 170, Rue de Chatagnon 38430 MOIRANS - FRANCE 1.3. Test Methodology Both conducted and radiated testing were performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 or/and ANSI C63.10, FCC Part 15 SubPart 15C. Radiated testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 10 meters. During testing, all equipment’s and cables were moved relative to each other in order to identify the worst case set-up. 1.4. Test facility Tests have been performed: November 22, 2023 to November 24, 2023 This test facility has been fully described in a report and accepted by FCC as compliant with the radiated and AC line conducted test site criteria in ANSI C63.4 or/and ANSI C63.10. This test facility has also been accredited by COFRAC (French accreditation authority for European Union test lab accreditation organization) according to NF EN ISO/IEC 17025, as compliant with test site criteria and competence in 47 CFR Part 15/ANSI C63.4 and EN55032/CISPR32 norms for 89/336/EEC European EMC Directive application. All pertinent data for this test facility remains unchanged.

LCIE SUD EST Laboratoire de Moirans Z.I. Centr’Alp 170, Rue de Chatagnon 38430 MOIRANS – FRANCE RF Exposure Considerations for FCC ID: O9BARVAEVOBT Per FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06 The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz are based on source-based time-averaged maximum conducted output power of the RF channel requiring evaluation, adjusted for tune-up tolerance, and the minimum test separation distance required for the exposure conditions. The minimum test separation distance defined in 4.1 f) is determined by the smallest distance from the antenna and radiating structures or outer surface of the device, according to the host form factor, exposure conditions and platform requirements, to any part of the body or extremity of a user or bystander. Minimum test separation distance: 5 mm Step c) For frequencies below 100 MHz, the following may be considered for SAR test exclusion 1) For test separation distances ≤ 50 mm, the power threshold determined by: [(equation in step c) 1) )×( 1 2 )] (푚푊) With 50 mm and 100 MHz (dBm) (mW) Nom 0.457 -49.3 0.000012 0.5 737.06 Exempt from SAR 1925.31 Exempt from SAR Verdict Maximum source-based time averaged conducted output power or EIRP (worst case) including tune-up tolerance Channel Frequency (MHz) Minimum separation distance (mm) Limit for 1-g SAR (mW) Limit for 10-g SAR (mW) Verdict Conclusion: Therefore our device complies with FCC’s RF radiation exposure limits for general population without SAR evaluation.
