Regulations Information

Class B Regulations

USA

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference

Statement

NOTE

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:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• 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.

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

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Please note:

The use of a non-shielded interface cable with this equipment is prohibited.

Wireless LAN Module Statement

FCC CAUTION:

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, and (2) this device must accept

any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC RF Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the

radiator and your body.

To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Canadian Department of Communications

Radio Interference Regulations Class B Compliance Notice

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canada Interference-Causing

equipment regulations.

Cet appareil numérique de Classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement Canadien sur le

matériel brouileur.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital

apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites

applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage

radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

iii

Canada Radio Frequency Interference Requirements

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be

operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment

(or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une

licence, il doit être utilisé à l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin de

fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est

installé à l'extérieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence.

SAFE USAGE NOTIFICATION:

For reason of personal safety and optimal radio performance, Motorola

has designed the ML900 with an intended purpose and position of use

either in a secured vehicle docking station or on the top of an office

desk.

Motorola strongly recommends using this product in a vehicle only

when it is physically-secured in a lock or assured-stationary location as

failure to do so may cause the product to cause harm in accidents or

other conditions.

Product Safety and RF Exposure Information

Caution

BEFORE USING THIS RUGGEDIZED NOTEBOOK , READ THIS SECTION

WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE

USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR

COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.

Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Note: This ruggedized notebook is intended for general population, consumer or similar

use; where users are not necessarily aware of the potential for exposure and may not

exercise control over their exposure.

This product safety section includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful

instructions on how to control your RF exposures.

For additional information on exposure requirements or other training information, visit

http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth

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

ruggedized notebook and/or integrated radios 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 ruggedized notebook and/or integrated radios

when on board an aircraft. Any use of a notebook or radio must be in accordance with

applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

Keep the antennas of this data terminal at least 8 inches or 20cm away from any person’s

body. Along with ensuring compliance with the RF energy exposure limits (as instructed

in the RF Energy Exposure section previously), this separation distance meets or exceeds

the distance recommendation of pacemaker manufacturers and the FCC to avoid

interference with pacemakers.

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.

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.

Driver Safety

Always abide by the laws and regulations on the use of computers and/or integrated radios

in the area where you drive.

When using your notebook and/or radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Pull off the road and park before using the equipment if driving conditions so

require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

Do not place a ruggedized notebook in the area over an air bag or in the air bag

deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a ruggedized notebook is placed in

the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the notebook may be propelled with

great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your ruggedized notebook 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.

The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling 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. Areas with

potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your ruggedized

notebook 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.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use the integrated radios of any ruggedized notebook that has a damaged antenna.

If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive

materials such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch 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.
