Users Manual

© 2011 Marshall Radio Telemetry, Inc. Rev. 2011-Oct.-10 PLD-010 Personal Locating Device User Manual The PLD-010 is a Personal Locating Device worn on the wrist and used to locate persons with disabilities (such as Alzheimer’s or Autism) that may wander or become lost. The device enables to tracking and locating of the patient by trained personnel. Installation Instructions: Install Battery with + side into the battery lid. At this point, it is advisable to also inspect the condition of the O-ring on the lid. If the O-ring is cracked, torn, or otherwise damaged, replace O-ring before installing the battery. Thread lid (with battery installed) into bottom of transmitter body. Tighten with provided tool. PLD-010 will begin transmitting as soon as battery is installed. With the battery installed. Test that the device is transmitting by listening to it on a receiver, or by using a transmitter tester. Note: Checking that the device is transmitting should be done on a daily basis by a trained care giver. Install medical bracelet through the slots on the PLD’s body. Install device onto wrist. Either left or right arm may be used. Battery should be replaced every 30 days. Battery: The PLD-010 is powered by a CR2450 Lithium battery. Battery life is 30+ days with a new battery installed. Transmitting Range The PLD-010 is a LPRS transmitting device. Typical range is 2 miles in a ground search, or 10+ miles when searching while airborne (from Helicopter or Airplane). Actual range may vary depending on many factors such as height of transmitter, height of receiver, type of terrain and obstructions, and radio noise or interference. Higher ground always gives better range. © 2011 Marshall Radio Telemetry, Inc. Rev. 2011-Oct.-10 Regulatory Statements For Users in the United States This Device may not interfere with TV reception or Federal Government radar This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 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. For users in Canada Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. The user/purchaser of this device should take note that as digital TV broadcasting stations are introduced in the geographical area, the medical telemetry links may have to be shifted to operate in other (unused) TV channels. The user/purchaser should ensure that the radio device can adapt to this mode of operation. L’utilisateur/consommateur de cet appareil doit prendre note qu’au fur et Ă  mesure que les stations de radiodiffusion de la tĂ©lĂ©vision numĂ©rique sont dĂ©ployĂ©es dans la region gĂ©ographique, les liaisons de tĂ©lĂ©mesure mĂ©dicale peuvent ĂȘtre appelĂ©es Ă  se dĂ©placer pour fonctionner sur d’autres canaux TV (inutilisĂ©s). L’utilisateur/consommateur devrait donc s’assurer que son dispositif radio peut s’adapter Ă  ce mode d’exploitation. If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the radio frequency radiated power so that nearby TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the system installed. Suggestions: A test with a TV receiver equipped with a “rabbit-ear antenna” and tuned to channel 13 should be conducted at the perimeter of the user’s intended coverage area and should not overlap other users’ areas without the latter’s consent. If this does not solve the problem, a channel near the 217 MHz edge and not near 216 MHz should be tried. Si le canal TV 13 est utilisĂ© dans ce secteur, l’installateur doit rĂ©duire ou rĂ©gler la puissance d’émission RF de façon que les rĂ©cepteurs du canal TV 13 avoisinants ne subissent pas le brouillage en provenance du systĂšme nouvellement installĂ©. Suggestions : Un essai d’un rĂ©cepteur TV muni d’une antenne « en oreilles de lapin » rĂ©glĂ©e sur le canal 13 devrait ĂȘtre conduit sur le pĂ©rimĂštre de la zone de couverture prĂ©vue par l’utilisateur et ne devrait pas chevaucher la zone de couverture des autres utilisateurs sans leur accord. Si cela ne rĂšgle pas le problĂšme, un canal Ă  proximitĂ© de la bordure de bande 217 MHz et donc Ă©loignĂ© de 216 MHz devrait ĂȘtre essayĂ©. © 2011 Marshall Radio Telemetry, Inc.

FCC ID: Z4Q-PLD-010-001 To Whom It May Concern: This letter serves as an official request for confidentiality under sections 0.457 and 0.459 of CFR 47. We have requested that the theory of operation, schematic, schematic description, dc voltages and currents, tuning procedure and internal photos required to be submitted with this application be permanently withheld from public review. These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by Marshall Radio Telemetry (MRT) as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information is not disclosed to the public after the release of the device. Disclosure of this information would harm MRT by giving competitors an unfair market advantage even after the commercial release of the device. Specifically, MRT uses proprietary circuits and tuning methods in the design and construction of devices. The control and functioning of these circuits is also proprietary and a competitive advantage. This device is potted with epoxy during production and taking the devices apart will destroy the circuit. We request that the internal photos of our PLD device be held permanently confidential. Our device is hermetically sealed, and any method of opening the device would damage or destroy the antenna and electronics. Allowing any internal photos to be made available would release proprietary information that could not otherwise be obtained. Public release of this proprietary information could prove harmful to Marshall Radio Telemetry and may provide unfair insight and benefit to our competitors. Sincerely, Kevin Harcourt Operations Manager Marshall Radio Telemetry

ID Label/Location Info

896 W. 100 N. North Salt Lake City, UT 84054 phone: 801-936-9000 fax: 801-936-0900 PLD-010 Exhibit “Label Location and Justification” Per Title 47, § 2.926 (f), the location for the FCC ID is justified by the following factors: 1. Since one if the intended recipient of this device is autistic children, having a label that is visible after attachment is troublesome as these markings will distract the child and they will become fixated with removing the markings from the device. 2. The side of the device that contacts the user is the battery door, which is not permanently attached to the device. 3. Experience has shown that creating truly permanent makings in or on exterior plastic components which have frequent abrasive contact (people banging them around during the course of normal life) to be problematic at best. 4. Placement inside the battery compartment will allow the FCC ID to be protected from the environment (people or things), allowing it to last the device lifetime. 5. Locating the label inside the battery compartment will allow it to be seen during initial deployment of the device by the administering agency when they install the battery. 6. Every month thereafter the FCC ID will be visible when the battery is changed by the administering agency. Per §2.1033 (c) (11), Figure 1 shows the location of the label on the device.
