2EnglishRF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational InstructionsNOTICE: The PIU and Piccolo-XR devices are authorized for general population consumer use.The PIU and Piccolo-XR use electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. They use radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive data. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection.All Motorola PIUs and Piccolo-XR units are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of PIUs and Piccolo-XR units. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.DIOS_SafetyBooklet-Portable_Eng.fm Page 2 Tuesday, October 12, 2004 12:59 PM
3EnglishPlease refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.htmlFederal Communication Commission (FCC) RegulationsThe FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable PIUs and Piccolo-XR units before they can be marketed in the U.S. Compliance with RF Exposure StandardsYour Motorola PIU and Piccolo-XR are designed and tested to comply with a number of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The PIU and Piccolo-XR comply with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for uncontrolled RF exposure environments. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your PIU and Piccolo-XR generate measurable RF energy only while they are transmitting, not when they are receiving or in standby mode.DIOS_SafetyBooklet-Portable_Eng.fm Page 3 Tuesday, October 12, 2004 12:59 PM
4EnglishYour Motorola PIU and Piccolo-XR comply with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6.

5EnglishOperating Instructions• When worn on the body, always place the PIU in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. • If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the PIU/Piccolo-XR in the intended-use position, ensure that the antenna and the unit are kept at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the PIU and the Piccolo-XR at a proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.Approved Accessories• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of Non-Motorola approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.Additional InformationFor additional information on exposure requirements or other training information, visit http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth.DIOS_SafetyBooklet-Portable_Eng.fm Page 5 Tuesday, October 12, 2004 12:59 PM
6EnglishElectromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityNOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.FacilitiesTo avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your PIU and Piccolo-XR in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.Medical DevicesPacemakersThe Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.Persons with pacemakers should:• ALWAYS keep the PIU and Piccolo-XR more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the PIU and Piccolo-XR are turned ON.• Not carry the PIU or Piccolo-XR in the breast pocket.• Turn the PIU and Piccolo-XR OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.DIOS_SafetyBooklet-Portable_Eng.fm Page 6 Tuesday, October 12, 2004 12:59 PM
