Per table 1 of 1.1307, paragraphs 1.1310 and 2.1093 of CFR 47, evaluation for this device is as follows. Due to the location of the antenna, normal operating conditions and use, the unit will satisfy the requirements for RF Exposure. Calculations are made here for completeness. SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE CALCULATION Calculations per 2.1093 of CFR 47. These calculations are based upon a typical human figure as approximated below. The height is 5’ 8” (173 cm.) and the weight is 160 lbs. (72.6kg). The calculated absorption cross section for this figure is 143 cm squared. CALCULATED OCCUPATIONAL / CONTROLLED POPULATION SAR S = PG/(4?R 2 )? Where S = power density in mw/cm 2 P = input power to antenna in mw. G = power gain of antenna R = distance from antenna in cm. For a minimum distance of 2.5 centimeters and 125E-9 watts (125E-6 mW or -39 dBm) operation with the supplied antenna, S is: S = 125E-6(1)/(4?(2.5) 2 ) = 1.59E-6 mw/cm 2 For a body cross sectional area of 143 cm squared, (1.59E-6)(143) = 227.59E-6 mw is absorbed. For a body mass of 72.6 kg, this is 227.6E-6/72.6 = 3.13E-6 mw/kg = 3.13E-9 w/kg This is well within the 0.08 w/kg limit prescribed for General population/uncontrolled exposure limit as prescribed by CFR 47 paragraph 2.1093.

(11) Photograph or drawing of the Identification Plate: Refer to Exhibit for Drawing of Identification Plate. (12) Drawings of Construction and Layout: Refer to exhibit for pictures of Component Layout and Chassis Assembly. (13) Detail Description of Digital Modulation: The modulator circuit starts with 2 digital pulse strings produced by the microprocessor. Those 2 signals are each routed through an active low pass filter circuit, which consists of 2 sections of MAX4129 OP-AMPS, and associated passive components which round off the square edges of the signals. Those signals represent I and Q and are then routed into U23, (RF2412) a quadrature modulator. The oscillator (carrier) is introduced in this same chip and is processed with the I and Q signals to produce the RF OUTPUT on pin 20 of the chip. This signal then goes through additional pad circuits to set the output level to no more than -39dBm at the antenna output connector.
