FCC Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER APPROVAL, DA 001407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements for devices containing a modular transmitter. Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:

XYZMODEL1 or Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization.

Safety Information Warning! Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines. Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take chances!

Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer associated with the procedures in this manual. The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA and NFPA standards. The information contained in this document is intended to aid qualified personnel, and is not a replacement for the proper training required to make a person qualified. Itron assumes no liability for the customer's failure to follow these safety guidelines. August 17, 2021 REV 002 Itron, Inc. Page 14 of 15 MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Government Guidelines General Electrical Safety Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace standards established by the following agencies:

Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA70). National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA). American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, deenergize all circuits or equipment before working on them. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all unqualified persons at all times. Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who tend to be drawn to work activity. Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been de energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or from another source. 120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body depends upon the body's resistance. Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock. Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order. Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be ignited by an arc flash. Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries. Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what you are doing. Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor. Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly. August 17, 2021 REV 002 Itron, Inc. Page 15 of 15
