Choose from three settings: • INT GEN. Activates the highly accurate internal generator. From here you can set your own T/C, user bits and FPS settings. • EXT RF (Cont). Constantly jam syncs the internal generator from the received T/C via Buddy DataLink. If Buddy loses signal of received T/C, the T/C output continues using the internal generator. • EXT LTC. Constantly jam syncs the internal generator from the received T/C via the BNC I/P socket or LEMO 5 socket. If Buddy loses signal of received T/C, the T/C output freezes immediately. RF Settings. From here select: • Channel no. 1 to 14 • RF TX On/Off. When in Internal or BNC modes the Timecode can transmit its SMPTE timecode data via Buddy DataLink to any other Timecode Buddy listening on the same channel. • RX UBits On/Off.

INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENTS This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter 10427A-TCB11 and AYV-TCB11(TCS11) has been approved by Industry Canada & FCC to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Name / Model Gain Impedance Taoglas/TG.09.0113 2.0dBi 50 ohm FCC Warning Statement:  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.  This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment OEM Responsibilities The TCS11 Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then Industry Canada and FCC certification is no longer considered valid and the IC & FCC Certification Numbers cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Industry Canada authorization. End Product Labeling The TCS11 Module is labeled with its own IC and FCC Certification Numbers. If the Certification Numbers are 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. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module IC:10427A-TCB11 Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:AYV-TCB11 or “Contains IC: 10427A-TCB11 “Contains FCC ID: AYV-TCB11 The OEM of the TCS11 Module must only use the approved antenna(s) listed above, which have been certified with this module. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user’s manual of the end product. The user’s manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location: “To comply with Industry Canada and FCC RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”

TRaC Global Test Report: TRA-020136-00-47-00B Appendix L: SAR Exclusion & MPE Calculation 900MHz FHSS Operation KDB 447498 Section 4.3 General SAR test reduction and exclusion guidance For Standalone SAR exclusion consideration, when SAR exclusion Threshold requirement in KDB 447498 is satisfied, standalone SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions by measurement or numerical simulation is not required. In the frequency range below 100 MHz to 6 GHz and test separation distance of ≤ 50mm, the SAR Test Exclusion Threshold will be determined as follows SAR Exclusion Threshold (SARET) SAR Exclusion Threshold = Step 1 + Step 2 Step 1 NT = [ (MP/TSD A) * √ fGHz ] NT = Numeric Threshold (3.0 for 1-g SAR and 7.5 for 10-g SAR) MP = Max Power of channel (mW) (inc tune up) TSD A = Min Test separation Distance or 50mm (whichever is lower) = 5mm (in this case) We can transpose this formula to allow us to find the maximum power of a channel allowed and compare this to the measured maximum power. = [(NT x TSD A) / √ fGHz] For Distances Greater than 50 mm Step 2 applies Step 2 (TSD B – 50mm) * 10} Where: TSDB = Min Test separation Distance (mm) = 50 Note: Step 2 is not required here as the TSD A is less than 50mm. Operating Frequency 915.8 MHz SARET = [(3.0 x 5) / √0.9158] SARET = 15.67mW Operating Frequency 922.1 MHz SARET = [(3.0 x 5) / √0.9221] SARET = 15.62 mW Channel Frequency (MHz) EIRP (mW) SAR Exclusion Threshold SAR Evaluation 915.8 8.13 15.67 Not Required 922.1 7.26 15.62 Not Required Therefore standalone SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions by measurement or numerical simulation is not required.
