Model RM182 Operational Description Model RM182 is a PCMCIA form 2.4 GHz FHSS transceiver. This product is used as an integrated module in Intermec’s data automation devices. The host devices vary from handheld barcode scanning terminals to wireless network access points which act as bridges between the wireless networks and the wired network. The details of the theory of operation for the module are attached in the following pages as obtained from the module manufacturer Proxim Inc.

Dear Mr. Chan, Thank you for your prompt review of our application HN2RM182-24. I will try to address your concerns: 1) I have uploaded a new table of host devices and antennas with antenna location and gain information to the RF exposure section of the application. 2) Models 2415 and 6400 have the antenna integrated inside the product, where it is not reachable by the user, while the unit is in operation (the product would have to be taken apart). Model 2100 has the antenna connection in the rear. A new picture demonstrating that has also been uploaded to the RF exposure section. Models 6640 and 6650 both have the antenna connection on top of the unit. A new picture showing their antenna has also been uploaded. 3) We have revised the manual supplements which accompany each product to include following: • A warning to the users of handheld terminals to keep the unit at least 20 cm away from their body when the transceiver is in use. • A warning about some of the antennas being inside the product in some handheld terminals • A warning to the installers to ensure the minimum 20 cm distance between antennas and users, in such a way that the user is not burdened with maintaining that distance. The stationary products are all professional installation products installed by Intermec trained technicians. We will train our installers through these documents and our training procedures to ensure the 20 cm distance in the installation of these products. A copy of the revised user document has been uploaded to the User Documentation section of the application. 4) You made a note indicating that the original Proxim power level was 135 mW. That is puzzling to us as well. Proxim told us this radio is a 100 mW radio, and we only measured 100 mW. I can only guess, that they may have dropped the output power between their original application and now. 5) The grant condition you propose is perfectly acceptable for us. I hope these responses and the uploaded exhibits satisfy your questions. Please feel free to contact us, if you have any further questions. Best regards, Kursat Eroglu, MSEE Sr. EMC Engineer

Intermec Safety and Compliance Group 12 4 TEST DATA AND RESULTS (continued) 4.3 Channel Bandwidth Measurement 4.3.1 Procedure The EUT was put into a continuous transmit mode. The analyzer was set to a 2 MHz span around the selected channel with 30 kHz resolution bandwidth and 30 kHz video bandwidth. The analyzer was put into max hold mode and the peak value measured. A threshold line was put 20 dB below the peak. Two markers were set at the intersection of the signal and the 20 dB line. The frequency difference between the markers was recorded as the 20 dB bandwidth. No external attenuator was used. Cable losses were automatically compensated by the analyzer. The same procedure was repeated for three different channels (low, medium and high) to cover the transmit range. 4.3.2 Results The widest 20 dB bandwidth measured was 997 kHz at 2.402 GHz. The other two channels shown on the following plots had bandwidths of 982 kHz (2.440 GHz) and 957 kHz (2.480 GHz). All bandwidths were below the required 1 MHz limit. Note: All conducted measurements were repeated with radio supply voltage modified to 90% and 110% of the nominal 110V. Since the module power is regulated on-board, no differences due to the voltage variation were observed. 4.4 Conducted Out-of-band Emissions 4.4.1 Procedure The EUT was put into continuous transmit mode. The analyzer was set to 300 kHz RBW (1 MHz for ranges 2,3,4) and 300 kHz VBW (1MHz for rangeS 2,3,4). Then four scans were performed in max hold mode with 30 MHz - 1 GHz, 1 GHz - 3 GHz, 3 GHz - 10 GHz and 10 GHz - 24 GHz ranges. Also the 50 MHz region around the fundamental was investigated. Found peaks are listed in the results section. No external attenuator was used. Cable losses were automatically compensated by the analyzer. The measurements were repeated for channels at 2.402, 2.440 and 2.480 GHz Intermec Safety and Compliance Group 13 4 TEST DATA AND RESULTS (continued) 4.4 Conducted Out-of-band Emissions 4.4.2 Results Plots in following pages show the harmonic and spurious out-of-band emissions of the EUT measured at the antenna connector.

For all other emission the limit is given in Part 15 paragraph 209. Intermec Safety and Compliance Group 18 4.5 RADIATED SPURIOUS EMISSIONS 4.5.1.1 30 MHz - 1 GHz Band Procedure First with the transmitter turned off, the EUT was powered up and a pre-scan was performed at 3m by rotating the EUT 360° and changing the antenna height between 1 m and 4 m. All suspicious peaks were noted. Then with the quasi-peak detector at 120 kHz RBW all suspicious peaks were scanned in the maximized EUT direction and antenna height. Same measurements were made for both polarizations of the antenna. The analyzer/receiver was programmed to compansate for all loss and gain factors (such as cables, antennas, preamplifiers etc.). The peak and quasi-peak readings were recorded. The limit used was FCC Part 15 class B radiated emissions limit. Then the same measurements were repeated with the transmitter in a constant transmit mode. This time only suspicious peaks in restricted bands (Part 15.205) were investigated. The measurements were performed three times for each type of the antennas (dipole, patch and omnidirectional). 4.5.1.2 30 MHz - 1 GHz Band Results All emissions measured were below the limit. The table on following pages shows the measured values above 20 dB margin, system loss/gain factors for those emissions and the position of the EUT and the measurement antenna. 4.5.2.1 1 GHz - 24 GHz Band Procedure With the transmitter in continuous transmit mode, a pre-scan of the EUT was performed at 1m by rotating the EUT 360° and changing the antenna height between 1m and 4m. All suspicious peaks were noted. Then with the average-peak detector at 1 MHz RBW all suspicious peaks were scanned in the maximized EUT direction and antenna height. Same measurements were made for both polarizations of the antenna. The analyzer/receiver was programmed to compansate for all loss and gain factors (such as cables, antennas, preamplifiers etc.). A 10 dB correction factor was added to the readings for the reduction of measurements distance. The peak and average readings were recorded. The limits used were the limits specified in paragraphs 205 (restricted bands), 209 (spurious emissions), 247 (c) (harmonic emissions) of Part 15. The measurements were performed three times for the highest gain of each type of the antennas (dipole, patch and omnidirectional). 4.5.2.2 1 GHz - 24 GHz Band Results The tables on following pages show the measured values, system loss/gain factors for those emissions and the position of the EUT and the antenna. Since no emissions were found above 12.5 GHz, the band between 18 GHz and 24 GHz was not scanned.
