e80 Personal Messaging Device Reference Guide

1. Safety Information and FCC Compliance

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR e80 PERSONAL MESSAGING DEVICE.

1.1 RF Operational Characteristics

Your e80 Personal Messaging Device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives

and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The e80 device operates in the frequency range of 900 MHz

to 1990 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques.

When you communicate with your e80 device, the system handling your call controls the power level at

which your e80 device transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from 0.063

watts to 1.58 watts.

1.2 Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your e80 device is designed to comply with the United States Federal Communications Commission,

Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to

radio frequency electromagnetic energy:

To assure optimal e80 device performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency

electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the

following procedures:

1.3 e80 Device Operation and EME Exposure

Body-worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear an e80 device on your body when

transmitting, always place the e80 device in a PerComm supplied or approved holster. Use of non-

PerComm-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-

worn accessory, ensure the device is at least 0.5 cm from your body when transmitting.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately

shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

• PUBLIC FACILITIES

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your e80 device 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.

• AIRCRAFT

When instructed to do so, turn off your e80 device when on board an aircraft. Any use of an e80

device must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

• MEDICAL DEVICES

Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum

separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless communication

device and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,

and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

e80 Personal Messaging Device Reference Guide

• ALWAYS keep the e80 device more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when

the e80 device is turned ON.

• Not carry the e80 device in the breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

• Turn the e80 device OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place.

Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless e80 devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event

of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of

your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to

assist you in obtaining this information.

1.4 Safety and General Information

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless communication devices in the area where you

drive. Always obey them. When using your e80 device while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Pull off the road and park before sending or responding to a message.

1.5 Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

Do not place a portable e80 device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags

inflate with great force. If the e80 device is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates,

the e80 device may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your e80 device prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not

remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause

an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Important: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas

such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would

normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are

often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your e80 device when you are near

electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and

instructions.

e80 Personal Messaging Device Reference Guide

1.6 Operational Cautions

Batteries

The PerComm lithium ion battery contains a built-in protection circuit, however, all batteries can cause

property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or

beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit

(short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when

placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

1.7 FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses and can radiate readio frequency

energy and, if not setup and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur due to a particular

use of the device. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the device and receiver

• Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

clean and dry?

You can’t send messages Check the signal strength meter. If the signal is weak, move to an

open space or, if in a building, move close to a window.

Check your coverage setting. Are restrictions set?

You can’t receive messages Check the signal strength meter. If the signal is weak, move to an

open space or, if in a building, move closer to a window.

The battery won’t charge Check the charger. Is it properly connected? Are its contacts clean

and dry?

Check the battery contacts. Are they clean and dry?

Check the battery temperature. If it is warm, let it cool before

recharging.

Is it an old battery? Replace the battery.

Are you using a PerComm original battery? The e80 device is only

designed to work with PerComm lithium ion batteries.

The battery loses charge

faster than normal

Are you in an area of variable coverage? This uses extra battery

power.

Is it a new battery? A new battery needs two to three

charge/discharge cycles to attain normal performance.

Is it an old battery? Battery performance declines after several

years of use.

Are you using your e80 device in extreme temperatures? At

extreme hot or cold temperatures, battery performance is

significantly reduced.
