____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 14 of 24 Test Report No 140502.11 3 rd September 2014 This report may not be reproduced except in full. Section 15.247(i) – Radio Frequency Hazard Information As per Section 15.247 (i) spread spectrum transmitters operating in the 900 – 928 MHz band are required to be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to RF energy levels in accordance with CFR 47, Section 1.1307(b)(1). In accordance with Section 1.1310 this device would be classed as a portable device and therefore Section 2.1093 will apply. Section 2.1093 requires SAR measurements to be carried out as the device is portable. A SAR evaluation has been carried out in accordance with KDB Publication 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05r02 dated February 7, 2014. Clause 4.3.1 1 has been applied to this device as the power output is very low. A worst case scenario has been applied to this device with the application of the 1-g SAR limits even though the device will most likely be held in the hand where the 10-g SAR limits could be applied. At 924.500 MHz the transmitter continuous peak output power was determined to be +9.6 dBm or 9.1 mW EIRP The highest frequency in use is 924.5 MHz or 0.9245 GHz. A 5 mm safe distance has been applied The 1-g SAR safe distance was calculated as follows: 1-g SAR = (P (mW) / x (mm)) * (√f (GHz)) 1-g SAR = (31 mW / 5 mm) * √ 0.9245 GHz) = 1.8 The 1-g SAR threshold level, for distances < 50 mm, is ≤ 3.0. The device will therefore meet the requirements of Section 2.1093 without any further testing by falling below the 1-g SAR threshold level. Result: Complies.

INTRODUCTION This report describes the tests and measurements performed for the purpose of determining compliance with the specification with the following conditions: The client selected the test sample. The report relates only to the sample tested. This report contains no corrections. Measurement uncertainties with statistical confidence intervals of 95% are shown below test results. Both Class A and Class B uncertainties have been accounted for, as well as influence uncertainties where appropriate. All compliance statements have been made with respect of the specification limit with no reference to the measurement uncertainty. In addition this equipment has been tested in accordance with the requirements contained in the appropriate Commission regulations. To the best of my knowledge, these tests were performed using measurement procedures that are consistent with industry or Commission standards and demonstrate that the equipment complies with the appropriate standards. I further certify that the necessary measurements were made by EMC Technologies NZ Ltd, 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
