April 24, 2001 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Division Applications Processing Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 To: Andy [email protected] From: Jay [email protected] Subject: Technical Review RE: FCC ID ESD-SA806866R8 Applicant: Melard Technologies Inc. Correspondence Reference Number: 18839 731 Confirmation No.EA100001 Date of Original e-mail: April 11, 2001 2.10PM Dear Mr. Leimer: Pursuant to your e-mail to me, dated April 11, 2000, I am forwarding to you our response. The relevant portion of the e-mail from FCC follows with our response inserted in the appropriate place: 1) The Test Report states that the ERP was measured using the substitution method which is a requirement. However, it appears that substitution method was not used for the Field Strength data. In addition one of the data points was 0.3 dB from the limit. Retake the data using the substitution method. Response: The DUI was re-tested for spurious emissions by using the substitution method and reference dipoles. Signal radiated from the DUI on the fundamental frequency as well as 2 nd and 3 rd harmonic were evaluated by comparing to the signals transmitted from the reference dipoles. For that purpose, a set of three dipoles was used: l = 18.5 cm, l = 9.2 cm and l = 6.0 cm. For testing the 4 th and 5 th harmonic a horn antenna was used as a reference source of radiation. The data after the retest is presented in the following two tables: Vertical polarization f Measured Level E V @ 3mLimitMargin MHzdBm dBμμV/mdBμμV/m dB 1630.00-33.164.384.620.3 2445.00-16.281.284.63.4 3260.00-38.359.184.625.5 4075.00-17.779.784.64.9 4890.00-39.258.284.626.4 5705.00-30.766.784.617.9 6520.00-27.769.784.614.9 Horizontal polarization f Measured Level E H @ 3mLimitMargin MHzdBm dBμμV/mdBμμV/m dB 1630.00-36.361.184.623.5 2445.00-19.378.184.66.6 3260.00-40.656.884.627.8 4075.00-39.857.684.627.0 4890.00-38.958.584.626.1 5705.00-33.963.584.621.1 6520.00-27.569.984.614.7 2) The SAR Report conclusions (Section 9) stated that there would be warning information in the User's Manual. None could be found. Submit the page(s) of the appended User's Manual that will contain this information. Response: The User’s Manual submitted with the original filing contains the warning information in page 16. However, the relevant page is attached with this response for your convenience. It reads: “In order to comply with the FCC RF Exposure requirements, this device must be operated with a minimum separation distance of 4 cm between the bystander, parts of the user other than the extremities, and the antenna in its intended upright vertical operating position”. I trust that the above will answer your questions. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Thanking you in advance for your kind cooperation. Best regards, Jayanta (Jay) K. Sarkar Technical Director, Standards and Certification 16 Using the Sidearm User’s Guide Sidearm All-Terrain Handheld PC™ Wireless communications (optional) Using wireless modems The Sidearm supports fully integrated wireless modems for multiple data networks. It is not necessary to manually turn the wireless modem on or off; the appropriate application software will automatically activate the wireless modem when required. Positioning the wireless antenna For the wireless systems, Sidearm uses a half-wave dipole antenna that is secured to the top right edge of the display screen. The antenna is strategically placed to optimize wireless coverage. For best coverage while using Sidearm, position the antenna in the upright position. Unauthorized antenna modifications could damage the Sidearm and may violate FCC regulations. In order to comply with the FCC RF Exposure requirements, this device must be operated with a minimum separation distance of 4 cm between the bystanders, parts of the user other than the extremities, and the antenna in its intended upright vertical operating position. Landline communications (optional) The optional 56K v.90 landline modem is accessible via the standard sealed RJ-11 connector located on the top of the unit. A combination RJ-11 / RJ-45 connector is available. Ethernet connectivity (10BaseT/10Base2) is optional and supported via this connector. Resetting the Sidearm Certain conditions require that you reset the Sidearm: n After restoring data from a host PC. n After installing new software.

Equipment:Wireless Handheld Computer Model:Sidearm with an incorporated Research In Motion R802D-2-0 radio modem (DataTAC/Ardis Network) Standard:FCC 96 –326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio- Frequency Radiation ENGINEERING SUMMARY This report contains the results of the engineering evaluation performed on a Melard Sidearm wireless handheld computer with an R802D-2-0 radio modem. The measurements were carried out in accordance with FCC 96-326. The Sidearm with an R802D radio modem was evaluated for its maximum power level (0.661W ERP). The duty factor of the radio modem is intrinsically restricted to 25% (See Appendix E). The Sidearm with an R802D radio modem was tested at low, middle and high channels for the keyboard up, keyboard down and right sides. The maximum 10g SAR (0.90 W/kg) was found to coincide with the peak performance RF output power of channel 22D0 (middle, 815 MHz) for the right side of the device. (The hot spot is located on the antenna). Test data and graphs are presented in this report. At a separation distance of 4 cm from the antenna of the device, the maximum 1g SAR is 0.17 W/kg. The manual will have a warning expressing that bystanders, and parts of the user’s body other than extremities, be at least 4 cm away from the antenna. Based on the test results and on how the device will be marketed and used, it is certified that the product meets the requirements as set forth in the above specifications, for uncontrolled RF exposure environment. (The results presented in this report relate only to the sample tested.) Page 3 of 18 Project #: MELB-Ardis Sidearm-3585 51 Spectrum WayTel.
