February 6, 2001 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Division Applications Processing Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 To: Errol [email protected] From: Jay [email protected] Subject: Information requested RE: FCC ID ESD-SA824894NE Applicant: Melard Technologies Inc. Correspondence 17919 731 Confirmation No.EA99829 Date of Original e-mail: January 31, 2001 11:46 AM Dear Mr. Chang: Pursuant to your e-mail to me, dated January 31, 2001 , 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: The following information is based on a review of the RF exposure aspects alone. there may be the need for further clarifications when this application is reviewed again at a later date. 1. The second file uploaded to the Cover Letter Exhibit indicates this device has 427 mW ERP. The test data in Exhibit 6 is indicating 372 mW ERP; please clarify. Response: The correct ERP is 372 mW as indicated in the ERP test data. 2.Section 9 of the SAR report, Conclusions, indicates a warning will be used to alert users to provide at least 4 cm between the antenna and the body of persons. This info is not found in the manual submitted; please clarify and upload the relevant page(s) of the manual. Response: Relevant page is uploaded with this response. 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”. 3.Please identify the peak SAR location measured for the device. The SAR distribution for Figure 2 is missing and a device outline has been shown on top of the measurement uncertainty table. Response: Data have been scrambled in transmission. We are re-transmitting entire SAR report with this response. 4.Table 2 indicates bystander exposure on the low channel is 4.13 W/kg, peak value. This does not appear to be consistent with the 4.13 W/kg 1-g surface SAR indicated in Section 8 (3); please clarify and revise all relevant info and numbers related to or derived from these numbers. Response: - The peak SAR values in table 2 are measured using area scans which take a measurement every 10 mm. The 1-g surface SAR is extrapolated by using zoom scans which take a measurement every 5 mm. At times, because of the higher resolution of the zoom scans, higher SAR values are used to measure the 1-g surface SAR than what was measured with the area scan. This would explain the similar numbers. The 4.13 W/kg 1-g surface SAR is an accurate measurement. 5.Please clarify the possible antenna operating positions and if the existing SAR results are sufficient for supporting all these possible antenna-operating positions. For example, when the antenna is not in its up-right position, whether SAR may change due to device performance or other operating issues. Response: The antenna is attached to the upper right edge of the display screen and should always be on the right side of the device and in upright position. The manual has a statement (page 16, revised uploaded with this response) describing the antenna position under the heading: “Positioning the wireless antenna”. It reads: “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”. However, the SAR was measured in three antenna positions with the keyboard facing up as reference, the positions are: 1- The antenna pointing up directly away from the keyboard. 2- The antenna pointing up directly away from the top edge. 3- The antenna folded against the top edge. - The above antenna configuration has no effect on SAR results for this device. 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

Equipment:Rugged handheld computer with integrated wireless communication Model:Sidearm ALL-Terrain Handheld PC™ 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 Sidearm ALL- Terrain Handheld PC™ which incorporates a Novatel Expedite CDPD modem. The measurements were carried out in accordance with FCC 96-326. The Sidearm with a Novatel Expedite CDPD modem was evaluated for its maximum power level( 0.372 ERQ). The duty factor of the radio modem is 100%. The Sidearm with a Novatel Expedite CDPD modem was tested at low, middle and high channels for the keyboard up, keyboard down, right, and top sides. The maximum 10g SAR (1.75 W/kg) was found to coincide with the peak performance RF output power of channel 367 (middle, 836.01 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 0.49 W/kg. The manual will have a warning to keep bystanders, and parts of the user’s body other than extremities, 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 20 Project #: MELB-Novatel Expedite CDPD Sidearm-3587 51 Spectrum WayTel.

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.
