WARNING TO USERS IN THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) LOCATION AND MONITORING SERVICE STATEMENT 47 CFR §90.351 NOTE: The user is required to obtain a Part 90 site license from the FCC to operate this radio frequency identification (RFID) device in the United States. See product label for FCC ID number. Access the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form601/601.html or at wireless.fcc.gov/index.htm?job=online_filing to obtain additional information concerning licensing requirements. NOTE: Users in all countries should check with the appropriate local authorities for licensing requirements. FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT 47 CFR §15.105(a) NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate RF energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual. Operating this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case, depending on the laws in effect, the user may be required to correct the interference at their own expense. NO UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS 47 CFR §15.21 CAUTION: This equipment may not be modified, altered, or changed in any way without permission from TransCore, LP. Unauthorized modification may void the equipment authorization from the FCC and will void the TransCore warranty. USE OF SHIELDED CABLES IS REQUIRED 47 CFR §15.27(a) NOTE: Shielded cables must be used with this equipment to comply with FCC regulations. TransCore, LP USA Multiprotocol Rail Reader System Guide Health Limits for Multiprotocol Rail Reader Using Exter- nal Antenna (902 to 928 MHz) Within the United States, environmental guidelines regulating safe exposure levels are issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Section 1910.97 of OSHA Safety and Health Standards 2206 legislates a maximum safe exposure limit of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm 2 ) averaged over 6 minutes at 902 MHz. Although not binding, other organizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have issued similar guidelines that are more restrictive than the OSHA limits (ANSI C95.1). ANSI guidelines recommend a maximum safe power density in mW/cm 2 of: Frequency (in MHz) 1500 Thus, the maximum permissible exposure for general population/uncontrolled expo- sure at 902 MHz is 0.60 mW/cm 2 . The power limit is a six-minute average. The RF power density generated by the Multiprotocol Rail Reader (MPRR) was cal- culated using a maximum antenna gain of 9.5 dBd, equivalent to the antenna gain of the external antenna. Warning At 2 W conducted into the antenna and a distance of 30 inches (77 cm) from the antenna, the maximum power density calculated was less than 0.60 mW/cm 2 . Install the antenna at least 30 inches (77 cm) from the general public. Maintenance per- sonnel must remain at least 14 inches (35 cm) from antenna when system is operat- ing. The data confirms that the TransCore MPRR effectively meets OSHA requirements and thus does not represent an operating hazard to either the general public or mainte- nance personnel.

Confidential Page 1 of 1 10/1/2010 MPRR Tune-up Procedure The Encompass 4 is factory calibrated for peak power. For peak power, the Encompass 4 is set to transmit a CW signal at 902.25 MHz at full power. This output signal is measured with an Agilent power meter (Model no. E4419B) and a high power sensor (Model no. E9301H). With the temperature compensated digital feedback control loop (TCDFCL) running, the loop reference value for peak power, which is stored in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is adjusted to center up the peak power level to 33 dBm +/- 0.25 dB. Once this reference value is stored, the TCDFCL automatically controls the peak power across frequency and operating power levels. The unit is then tested to meet the following specifications: Power output range +18 to +33 dBm, in 1 dB steps; Accuracy +/-1.0 dB, over frequency range; Stability +/-1.25 dB, from –40 to +70 °C.
