CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silver Spring Networks could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
4.1 FCC Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module
The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER
APPROVAL, DA 00-1407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements
for devices containing a modular transmitter.
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 application 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.

4.2 Safety Information
WARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in
massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts
will result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can
also produce dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions
associated with electrical shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety
guidelines.
Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take
chances!
••
Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer associated
with the procedures in this manual.
••
The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in accordance
with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA and NFPA
standards.
••
The information contained in this document is intended to aid qualified personnel, and is not
a replacement for the proper training required to make a person qualified.
••
Silver Spring Networks assumes no liability for the customer's failure to follow these safety
guidelines.
4.3 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).

••
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 body's 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.
4.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
••
Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in accordance with OSHA and ANSI
standards.
••
Wear eye protection and electrically insulated gloves. Test gloves in accordance with ANSI
standards before use. Do not use gloves that do not pass appropriate test procedures.
••
Wear protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and long pants made of flame resistant
materials.
••
Remove all jewelry.
••
Do not pass any objects to or from other persons not protected by insulating platforms or
tested, electrically insulated gloves.
4.5 Fall Protection
When performing work at any elevation:
••
Always use a fall protection system, in accordance with OSHA standards, whenever
performing work at any elevation.
••
Never use conductors, guy wires, pins, or cross-arm braces, etc. to support your weight.
••
Whenever using aerial lift devices such as hoists, man-lifts, vehicle-mounted work platforms
and overhead lifts, read and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe and proper
operation.
••
Use ladders and scaffolding only in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines and/or
according to OSHA standards.
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

I-210+ NIC and Meter Labeling Product Requirements
4. FCC and Government Guidelines
••
Only use ladders made of non-metallic, non-conductive material. They should be the proper
size and type for the work intended. Inspect ladders for wear and breakage. Remove any oil,
grease, or other slippery materials.
••
Do not set the ladder at too steep or too shallow of an angle. A rule of thumb is to stand erect
with your toes against the bottom rails of the ladder, with your arms extended straight out. If
you can set your palms on top of the rung that is at eye level, the ladder should be at the
proper angle. If a ladder angle label is provided, follow its recommendations.
••
If the ladder is to remain in place for an extended period, secure it at the top. The support
point at the top of the ladder should be at least 24 inches (60 centimeters) wide to maintain
support in the event of sideways movement. For jobs of short duration, have a fellow worker
support the ladder at the base.
••
Evaluate all tasks to be performed from a ladder for potential fall hazards, such as complex
tasks or situations that require leaning from the side of the ladder.
••
The use of scaffolding or a work platform should be considered as an alternative solution in
such cases.
4.6 Shock Accident First Aid
••
Do not touch the victim with your bare hands; use something non-conductive to separate the
victim from the energy source.
••
Call for emergency medical help immediately. Keep the victim lying down, warm, and
comfortable until help arrives. Avoid moving the victim in case of injury to neck or back.
Position an unconscious victim on a side to let fluids drain.
••
Check the victim's breathing and heartbeat. If properly trained, apply mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation and/or CPR if necessary.
••
Remove constricting items from the victim, such as shoes, belts, jewelry, and tight collars;
they could cut off circulation if the victim experiences swelling.
••
Apply water or saline for a few minutes to any burns until the skin returns to normal
temperature. Do not attempt to remove clothing that is stuck to a burn. If possible, elevate
burned areas to reduce swelling.
••
Make sure the victim receives professional medical attention, even if they feel fine. Electric
shock can cause heart failure hours after the shock is received.
