A MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 4 Gimbal, Inc. Confidential and Proprietary Intended Use What is the Gimbal Series 21 Proximity Beacon? The Gimbal™ Series 21 Proximity Beacon (the ‘Beacon’) is a small, battery-powered device which transmits a Bluetooth Smart/low-energy signal that can be detected by other devices (e.g., smartphones or other devices capable of receiving the signal). This signal provides the identity of the beacon as well as other telemetry information to the receiving device (e.g., battery level and temperature). The Beacon works by periodically waking up, transmitting this signal via short-range radio (Bluetooth Smart/LE) and then returning to a low-power state. The Beacon has no user interface (UI), cellular or GPS capabilities. The beacon’s identity is encoded within the signal it transmits and includes a sub-segment device type. Important safety instructions for your Beacon WARNING - CHOKING HAZARD: Small parts. Not for children under 3 years of age. This product comes with AA alkaline batteries. CAUTION – Do not connect improperly, charge or dispose of in fire. Battery may explore or leak. Please visit http://gimbal.com/legal/regulatory for more information. If the battery leaks: • Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing. If contact has already occurred, flush the affected area immediately with clean water and seek medical advice. • Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If contact has already occurred, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek medical advice. Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire, as there is a danger of ignition or explosion. • Vapor generated from burning batteries may irritate eyes, skin, and throat. If inhalation occurs, move to a well-ventilated area immediately and seek medical advice. XXX-XXXX-XXX Rev. A MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 5 Gimbal, Inc.
