RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information
and Operational Instructions
NOTICE: 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.

Please 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.html
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The 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 Standards
Your 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.

Operating 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.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To 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 Devices
Pacemakers
The 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 Aids
Some 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.
