Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the

NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 23 December 2015 Silver Spring Networks 8NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Industry Canada Government Guidelinesapplication for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization.The following is an extract from RSS-GEN, General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus, Section 3.2.1, describing labeling requirements for a host device integrating a radio module.The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device.The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains transmitter module”, or the word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:Contains transmitter module IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYwhere XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY is the moduleʹs certification number.L’extrait suivant provient du Cahier des charges sur les normes radioélectriques (CNR); exigences générales et information relatives à la certification des appareils radio, section 3.2.1, et décrit les exigences en matière d’étiquetage pour un dispositif hôte intégrant un module radio. Le dispositif hôte doit être correctement étiqueté afin d’identifier les modules qu’il comprend. L’étiquette de certification Industrie Canada d’un module doit toujours être bien visible lors de l’installation sur un dispositif hôte. Dans le cas contraire, le dispositif hôte doit être étiqueté de façon à afficher le numéro de certification Industrie Canada du module, précédé de l’expression « Contains transmitter module » ou du mot « Contains », ou d’une formulation similaire ayant la même signification. Par exemple : Contains transmitter module IC : XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY où XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY représente le numéro de certification du module.The applicant for equipment certification of the module shall provide with each unit of the module either a label such as described above, or an explanation and instructions to the user as to the host device labelling requirements.

NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 23 December 2015 Silver Spring Networks 9NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Industry Canada Government GuidelinesNIC 510 External Antenna IntegrationThis radio transmitter 5975A-NIC51103 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed Table 2 with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Cet émetteur radio 5975A-NIC51103 a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types dʹantenne énumérés dans le tableau 1 ci-dessous avec le gain maximal admissible et lʹimpédance dʹantenne requise pour chaque type dʹantenne indiqué. Les types dʹantennes ne figurant pas dans cette liste, ayant un gain supérieur au gain maximum indiqué pour ce type, sont strictement interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.

General Electrical Safety•Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace standards established by the following agencies: — Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). — The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-70). — National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). — Electronics Industries Association (EIA). — Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA). •American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de-energize all circuits or equipment before working on them. •Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all unqualified persons at all times. •Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who tend to be drawn to work activity. •Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been de-energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or from another source. •120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body depends upon the bodyʹs resistance. •Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock. •Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. •Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order. •Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be ignited by an arc flash. •Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries. •Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what you are doing.•Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor. •Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly.
