Appendix A: Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
SmaRT base units contain radio transceivers. When active, base units send out radio frequency
(RF) energy through an internal or external antenna. The SmaRT base unit complies with limits
set by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for operating distance
from human tissue
.
SmaRT base units with an external antenna should be mounted to ensure that the antenna is at
least 20cm away from the human body. Only use the external antennas recommended by
Cervis, Inc. (see Table 6).

Appendix C: Typical Handheld to Base Unit Communication
A standard SmaRT System consists of one handheld remote and one base unit. Each base unit
can communicate with up to eight handheld remotes. Each handheld must first establish a
communications link with the base unit before the base unit will recognize the handheld unit.
This process is called “Association.”
Handheld remote and base unit communications are established at Cervis, Inc. before shipping
when systems are ordered. However, it may be necessary to establish or re-establish
communication between a remote and a base unit at some point. The Associate procedure does
this.
In some cases, it may also become necessary to break the communication link between the
handheld and the BU-xH6R. This process is called
“Dissociation.”
Be aware that when a
handheld is dissociated from a base unit, all communication links to that particular base unit are
erased from the base unit memory!
For instance, a particular BU-xH6R is associated to
Handheld Remotes 1 through 5. Remote 2 dissociates
—breaks the communication link—from
the base unit. Hence, all five handheld remotes are removed from the base unit memory. Any
remaining handheld that now needs to control that BU-xH6R must re-establish the
communication link using the Associate procedure.
The following Associate and Dissociate procedures are general methods for associating or
dissociating Cervis, Inc. handheld remotes to the BU-xH6R. Custom systems may have different
Associate methods unique to the custom system design.
Note: Individual SmaRT base unit models use
the illustrated label position for all base unit
agency labels. The base unit label position is
identical for both internal and external antenna
base units.
