FCC/IC Compliance
This equipment 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 equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reposition or relocate the receiving antenna. (This would have to be done by
an installer.)
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Guide
Aclara Technologies LLC low power RF devices and their antennas must be
fixed-mounted on indoor or outdoor permanent structure(s) providing a separation
distance of at least 1 meter from all persons during normal operation. This device
is not designed to operate in conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters.
No other operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance are needed.
Holding the antenna in one’s hands while it is transmitting, or standing near a
transmitting antenna for a prolonged period of time, could result in RF exposure
that exceeds FCC and Health Canada recommendations.
Once the DCU is powered up and operational, it will emit RF energy. Installers,
technicians, and the public at large should keep a distance of 1 meter or more from
the plane of the antenna.
This device has been tested for exposure of humans to RF energy. It satisfies
OSHA, FCC, and Health Canada requirements provided it is installed in a manner
described in this manual and operated in accordance with the user guide.
