Equipment:Wireless Handheld Computer Model:Sidearm with an incorporated Research In Motion R902M-2-0 radio modem (Mobitex 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 PC with an incorporated R902 Mobitex radio modem. The measurements were carried out in accordance with FCC 96-326. The Sidearm with a RIM902M radio modem was evaluated for its maximum power level (nominally 2W / 33dBm). The duty factor of the radio modem is intrinsically restricted to 25% (See Appendix E). The Sidearm with a RIM902M radio modem was tested at low, middle and high channels for the keyboard up, keyboard down, right and left sides. The maximum 10g SAR (1.1 W/kg) was found to coincide with the peak performance RF output power of channel 0880 (high, 901 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. The antenna of the device can be positioned with the antenna pointing up directly away from the keyboard, with the antenna pointing up directly away from the top edge, and with the antenna folded against the top edge. The antenna configuration has no effect on SAR results for this device. During use, the antenna is in the upright verticle position (see page 16 of manual). 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 16 Project #: MELB-Mobitex Sidearm-3586 51 Spectrum WayTel.

This document defines the parts and dimensions of the phantom, in accordance with industry standards and practices. This Standard defines: - the methodology and procedures used to define a reproducible representation of the human head, hand and arm - the dimensions on the canonical shapes used, and the materials required - the hardware required and the proper setup This Standard is part of a Certification Program Methodology as described in a separate document entitled "SSI/DBR TP-D01-030, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Standard For Portable Telecommunications Devices, March 1998". SSI/DBR TP-D01-031 contains specific criteria that must be met for SAR certification. 1.2Test Facilities All calibration work as described in this Standard shall be performed at an ISO/IEC Guide 25 accredited laboratory. 1.3Test Personnel Personnel performing the calibration will be experienced in relevant measurements (e.g. physical properties or RF characteristics) and supervised by a person proficient in SAR measurements. 1.4Standard Environmental Conditions All measurements and calibration should be performed under normal laboratory conditions for physical properties and electrical characteristics as stipulated by ISO/IEC Guide 25. The nominal temperature for physical property measurements and for electrical characterization are 20°C and 23°C, respectively.

(613) 820-6471 Fax (613) 820-4161 e-mail: [email protected] Spectrum Sciences Institute RF Dosimetry Research Board 2.0BACKGROUND Portable communication devices used by consumers typically operate over the range of several watts to a milliwatt, or less, using either analog or digital modulation techniques. Most portable telephones have antennas that radiate within a few centimeters of the user's head. The field strength and field distribution near the antenna are highly dependent on the location, orientation and electromagnetic characteristics of adjacent objects. The head and hand are normally in the reactive near-field region of the antenna where the electromagnetic field is non-propagating. The energy absorbed in the head and hand is mainly due to electric fields induced by the magnetic fields generated by currents flowing through the feedpoint, along the antenna and body of the portable device. The RF energy is scattered and attenuated as it propagates through the tissues of the head, and maximum energy absorption is expected in the more absorptive high water-content tissues near the surface of the head or hand. To account for near-field effects portable devices are evaluated with realistic head models called a phantom. A phantom is a device that simulates the size, contours, and electrical characteristics of human tissue at normal body temperature. It is composed of a manikin (solid shell) and a tissue-equivalent synthetic material solution (see SSI/DRB-TP-D01-033). The solid manikin shell is made of a dielectric material, which is transparent to RF energy (i.e. has very low RF absorption), and is as thin as possible while maintaining the strength necessary to hold the mass of simulated tissue. Current phantoms in use are: - Universal Head-arm (UniHead) Phantom for ear independent evaluation of the RF exposure in the head of users by telephone-type devices, as well as RF exposure in the head of users of hand held radios positioned in front of the face, and in the hand of users of hand held portable devices - Flat Phantom for evaluating the RF exposure of other part…
