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.
