American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 April 10, 2006 RE: FCC ID: HP9RD11440_ATCB003357 Attention: Gregory M. Snyder / Brian J. Dettling I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that the operational description states that the ‘roofing filter’ is ‘set’ to the appropriate pass band according to region. The operational description also states that appropriate attenuation is selected to sufficiently attenuate to meet regulations. This appears to be part of the tune up procedure for the specific region. However, nothing appears to be mentioned in the tune up procedure about this. Please explain where this is done and how it is controlled if not done during the tune up of the device. 2. Page 1 of the internal photo exhibit shows a ‘mini-PCI’ type slot. The schematics indicate that the transmitter module contains the same type connector. It is therefore unclear if the transmitter is on a PCI card plugged into the mother board, or if the transmitter is on one of the larger mother boards. If the transmitter is on a separate card plugged into this mini-PCI slot, then it does not appear that internal photos of the actual transmitter have been provided. Please clearly identify the transmitter portion on the internal photos. Please explain what this slot is used for and if it is active in this particular application. If not active, please explain how it is disabled. 3. Please note that the MPE power stated is about 7.9 W. The 731 states 19.23W. Please note that as this device is a mobile device and as the antenna(s) can be easily removed, the grant power will be the conducted power delivered to the antenna terminals. Please make all associated power levels consistent throughout the documentation. 4. Please provide a manual that contains the appropriate rf exposure information and separation distance as mentioned in the MPE report. 5. Please explain the table on page 11 of the report. The values listed do not appear to coincide with ERP measurement requirements of TIA603. Please note that the listed conducted power added to the 6dBi gain antenna as shown in the table is not the required method for determining ERP. Please provide actual ERP data performed using the antenna substitution method as required in accordance with TIA603. 6. Please note that radiated spurious emissions for part 90 devices is an ERP measurement. Please note that the data in the radiated spurious emissions table (page 29 of the pdf document( is listed in EIRP. While the device appears to be compliant, please provide proper measurement units in the report.

Model RD11440 FCC ID: H9PRD11440 March 22, 2006 Revision 1 Dated: April 19, 2006 WLL PROJECT #: 9081 This report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the prior written consent of Washington Laboratories, Ltd. Document 9081-MPE, Rev. 1 FCC ID: H9PRD11440 RF Exposure Test Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd March 2006 1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for FCC ID: H9PRD11440 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared on behalf of Symbol Technologies, Inc. RD11440 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: ƒ 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. ƒ 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. ƒ 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 Technologies, Inc. RD11440 RFID device with 6dBi antenna is considered a fixed installation. 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: Document 9081-MPE, Rev. 1 FCC ID: H9PRD11440 RF Exposure Test Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd March 2006 2 ƒ 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. ƒ 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 Technologies, Inc. RD11320 XR-400 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 38.99dBm at 920.75 MHz. According to §1.1310 of the FCC rules, the power density limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure at 910.75 MHz (the lowest frequency of operation) is 0.607mW/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: 2 4R PG S π = Where: S = Power Density P = Output Power at the Antenna Terminals G = Gain of Transmit Antenna (linear gain) Document 9081-MPE, Rev. 1 FCC ID: H9PRD11440 RF Exposure Test Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd March 2006 3 R = Distance from Transmitting Antenna To solve for the minimum mounting distance required: S PG R π4 = For this device, the calculation is as follows: S = 0.607 mW/cm 2 P = Output Power = 7925mW G = Worst Case Gain = 6dBi = INVLOG(6/10) = 4 607.04 )4()7925( ×× × = π R = 64.5 cm (Based on continuous transmission) Based on the above calculation the Symbol Technologies, Inc.
