FCC ID: H9PAR4126 RF Exposure Test Report Symbol Technologies Inc. May 2005 Regulatory Engineering • Intranet site: http://wiley.symbol.com/regulatory/index.html Regulatory Engineering Maximum Permissible Exposure Test Report For FCC ID: H9PAR4126 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared by Symbol Technologies, Inc. FHSS RFID Device to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC §1.1307. 1.1 Requirements Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable and are defined as follows: • Fixed Installations: fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. • Mobile Devices: a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091. • Portable Devices: a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. Portable device requirements are found in Section 2.1093 of the FCC's Rules (47 CFR§2.1093). For this test report the Symbol RFID device with 6dBi antenna is considered a fixed installation as it is used for the purpose of reading tags. The FCC also categorizes the use of the device as based upon the user’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories defined are Occupational/Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. These two categories are defined as follows: Regulatory Engineering • Intranet site: http://wiley.symbol.com/regulatory/index.html Occupational/Controlled Exposure: In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. Awareness of the potential for RF exposure in a workplace or similar environment can be provided through specific training as part of a RF safety program. If appropriate, warning signs and labels can also be used to establish such awareness by providing prominent information on the risk of potential exposure and instructions on methods to minimize such exposure risks. General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: The general population / uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity. Warning labels placed on low-power consumer devices such as cellular telephones are not considered sufficient to allow the device to be considered under the occupational/controlled category, and the general population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to these devices. Since there are no warnings or training associated with this unit and it can be used by anyone, the Symbol RFID device is evaluated to the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure limits. 1.2 Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure Evaluation The highest RF output power of the unit was measured at 42.7dBm at 920.25 MHz. According to §1.1310 of the FCC rules, the power density limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure at 920.25 MHz is 0.6135mW/cm 2. The MPE is calculated to show the required separation distance that must be maintained during installation to maintain compliance with the power density limit. The following formula was used to calculate the Power Density: Where: S = Power Density P = Output Power at the Antenna Terminals G = Gain of Transmit Antenna (linear gain) R = Distance from Transmitting Antenna Regulatory Engineering • Intranet site: http://wiley.symbol.com/regulatory/index.html To solve for the minimum mounting distance required: For this device, the calculation is as follows: S = 0.6135 mW/cm 2 P = Output Power = 18600 mW G = Worst Case Gain = 6dBi = INVLOG(6/10) = 4 R= (18600) X (4) = 99cm 4 x Π x 0.6135 Based on the above calculation the Symbol AR 400 (Part 90) Reader antenna must be mounted such that it provides a minimum separation distance of 99cm. The User’s Manual addresses the mounting location in the instructions for mounting the reader.

Measurement Procedure: The fundamental and spurious emissions of the transmitter from 30 MHz to 9.2 GHz were measured in accordance with TIA/EIA603, Paragraph 2.2.1.2 as described below: The transmitter under test was placed on an 80-cm high non-metallic table on the Open Air Test Site with its antenna terminated into a shielded load. A receive antenna was placed three meters away from the transmitter. The turntable was rotated 360 degrees and the receive antenna was raised and lowered from 1 to 4 meters until a maximum reading was obtained at each spurious emission detected. This reading was recorded. The transmitter under test was replaced with a dipole (or equivalent antenna) and signal generator. The signal generator was set to the frequency for the spurious emission. The level of the signal generator was increased until the level was equal to that previously measured. The required input level from the signal generator in dBm was recorded and the antenna gain (in dB) of the transmit antenna was added. This was the Effective Radiated Power of the spurious emission. For the Fundamental Power output measurement the shielded load was replaced by the EUT’s standard transmit antenna and the above procedure was repeated at the fundamental transmit frequency. Setup of the test is shown below: A. Test Results: See the following two (2) test data sheets for a complete presentation of the test results obtained.
