Your part in these ratings is very important! We are counting on you and everyone in your household age 6 and older to tell us what you watch on television and what you listen to on the radio. With your information, TV and radio stations and others in the TV and radio industries can learn more about the programs that are watched or listened to. All you have to do is wear your Personal Meter every day from the time you rise until you retire for the day. Right before you go to bed, remember to put your Personal Meter in its Recharger. That’s all there is to it! We want to make sure all your listening and viewing is included in the ratings— no matter how much or how little you watch TV or listen to the radio. As our way of thanking you, there is a point system with rewards for wearing your Personal Meter, so the more you wear your Personal Meter, the more you can earn as a reward. This booklet explains the bonuses and the messages you will see on the Personal Meter’s Recharger. It also describes the equipment in your home and tells you what to do in case you have a problem or a question. Remember, just as you are helping us, we are here to help you. If you ever need to contact us for any reason, please call your Arbitron Ratings representative listed on the cover of this book. We think you will enjoy being a part of this ratings panel, and we thank you for joining. Sincerely, Steve Morris President, Arbitron Radio Ratings Welcome! 1 Your Personal Meter picks up TV and radio station codes wherever you go. 2 How does it work? Your Personal Meter Your Personal Meter is just for you. Your name will appear when you put your Personal Meter into its Recharger. Please make sure you are the only one using your Personal Meter. Your Personal Meter picks up what you watch on TV and listen to on the radio. It automatically identifies the radio station or TV program by picking up special “encoded” signals sent by TV and radio stations. It can also pick up encoded signals that are played over the Internet or at places such as stores, amusement parks, and movie theaters that participate with us in this research. These signals are silent to the human ear. However, if you can hear sound from your TV or radio or other encoded source, the Personal Meter will pick up the signal. Your Personal Meter doesn’t “hear” or record your conversations or any other sounds. Your Personal Meter has a green light on the side to show you the Meter is working. The green light is attached to a special sensor that knows if you are carrying the Meter with you. All you have to do is wear your Personal Meter to keep the green light on. You simply wear your Personal Meter and it receives station signals wherever you are. It’s important that you always wear your Personal Meter so it will report all your TV viewing and radio listening. We ask that you wear it from the time you first wake up and during all your daily activities—at home, in the car, or at work. 3 Your Recharger Your Recharger collects your TV viewing and radio listening information as well as recharges the Personal Meter battery. At the end of each day, you place the Personal Meter into the Recharger so all your TV viewing and radio listening for that day will be included. To make it easy, we ask you to place the Recharger in your bedroom where you can easily see it when you first wake up. The Recharger also displays special messages to you whenever you place the Personal Meter back into the unit. It will tell you how many points you have earned for wearing your Meter for the current and previous days. It will also tell you what your point total is for the current week and what it was for the previous week. There are two buttons located near the display on the front of your Recharger. They are used only for testing by our technicians and will do nothing when pushed. The Household Collector The Collector is plugged into an electrical outlet and into your telephone line. It collects viewing and listening data from each Recharger by communicating with these units through the electrical wiring in your home. It also transmits a silent signal that can be detected by your Personal Meter when it is within your house. This allows us to separate your media use at home from your media use in other places. The Collector then sends your household’s information to our main computer once each day by making a very short call, lasting just a couple minutes very early in the morning, usually between 4A M and 6A M. We can then combine your information with information from other households in your area to produce the TV and radio ratings. This call will not affect your phone service. You can use the telephone whenever you want. There is no additional cost to your phone bill. When connected properly, your Collector will show a solid green light on the front. If the green light is flashing or out, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this guide for instructions. Occasionally an orange light may come on and flash. This is normal. 4 How to keep your Meter with you Three simple rules 1. Remove your Personal Meter from its Recharger as soon as you wake up. 2. Wear your Personal Meter wherever you go and make sure its green light stays on. 3. At the end of the day, just before yo…

Model HP106A Locator Hub In Home / Out of Home Transmitter Description Page 1 of 6 Arbitron Proprietary Information ©2005 Arbitron Inc 1 MODEL HP106A LOCATOR HUB IN HOME / OUT OF HOME TRANSMITTER DESCRIPTION A.1 PPM IN HOME/OUT OF HOME INDICATOR OVERVIEW Subscribers to Arbitron’s ratings service are not just interested in which radio or television station a panelist listens to, but also where the station was heard: In their home, or somewhere out of home such as in their car, at work, etc? To meet this need, the PPM system’s HP106A Locator Hub (denoted the PL3150 Locator Hub and also known as the household collector) contains a low power 433 MHz RF transmitter that acts as a continuous “at-home” beacon. If a panelist is at home and within 100 feet of the Hub transmitter, an RF receiver in his personal meter (i.e., his PPM) will detect the transmission and log a positive “in Home” event. The PPM records successful detections in its listening log every few minutes. The In Home/Out of Home Indicator system is illustrated in Figure A-1 below. Figure A-1: In Home/Out of Home Indicator system A.2 IN HOME/OUT OF HOME TRANSMITTER The HP106A Locator Hub uses a Linx TXM-433-LC, a 433.92 MHz low-power RF transmitter, mated to a custom antenna to provide an “at home” signal to panelist PPM Hub (Collector) Open Air Range Model HP106A Locator Hub In Home / Out of Home Transmitter Description Page 2 of 6 Arbitron Proprietary Information ©2005 Arbitron Inc 2 meters. The TXM-433-LC is driven by the Echelon Neuron microcontroller. As built, with the output power control resistor (R35 = 1.1K Ohms) and VCC = 5V, the nominal power output = -2 dBm for FCC 15.231 compliance. Emissions testing at an independent lab determined that R35=1.1K Ohms (with a 14% duty cycle) permits the maximum transmitted power under FCC rules. See Figures A-2 through A-5.

Subsection (a) allows for three types of intentional transmitters: manually operated, or automatically triggered but restricted to transmitting less than 2 seconds per hour. Subsection (b) specifies the power limits for subsection (a) devices, while subsections (c) and (d) specify bandwidth and band-limit requirements. Subsection (e) provides a special exception to subsection (a) with allowable transmission levels of less than half those provided under subsection (b). In addition, subsection (e) devices must not transmit for greater than one second and the silent period between transmissions must be at least 30 times the duration of the transmission but in no case less than 10 seconds. Lastly, subsection (e) devices must meet the bandwidth and band-limit requirements of subsection (b), which includes a power-measuring requirement covered under section 15.35. Specifically, the measured field strength must be determined from the average absolute voltage during a 0.1 second interval when the transmitted pulse code is at its maximum. For reference, the Subsection (e) 433.92 MHz power limit is 4,399 μV/m (72.9 dBμV/m). 1. Transmitter Power The Linx TXM433 module transmits at a nominal -2dBm power level. 2. Transmitter 100 ms burst duty cycle The transmitter emits 2 ms power pulses every 16 ms. Within a worst-case 100 ms window there are 7 power pulses, resulting in 2x7/100 = 14% duty cycle. [Note: 15.35(b) ...When average radiated emission measurements are specified in the regulations there is also a limit on the radio frequency emissions corresponding to 20 dB above the maximum permitted average limit for the frequency being investigated .... So, since 20*log(0.1) = -20dB, this means that a duty cycle less than 10% is not useful for lowering the FCC power level compliance further.] 3. Total Transmission Time The total transmission time is 978 ms. Note this is less than the one second section 15.231(e) maximum. 4. Transmitter Silent Period The transmitter will be silent for 30.022 seconds between transmissions. Section 15.231 (e) requires a minimum silent period of 30*0.978 =29.340 seconds or 10.00 seconds, which ever is greater. Model HP106A Locator Hub In Home / Out of Home Transmitter Description Page 5 of 6 Arbitron Proprietary Information ©2005 Arbitron Inc 5 5. Transmitter Transmission Period The transmitter 0.978 second ‘on’ period followed by the 30.022 second ‘off’ period equates to a 31.000 second period repeating transmission pattern. The resulting transmitted pattern is illustrated in Figures A-6 and A-7 below.

The modules have been designed to maintain compatibility with most pick-and-place equipment; however, due to the module's hybrid nature certain aspects of the automated assembly process are far more critical than for other component types. Following are brief discussions of the three primary areas where caution must be observed. Reflow Temperature Profile The single most critical stage in the automated assembly process is the reflow process. The reflow profile below should be closely followed since excessive temperatures or transport times during reflow will irreparably damage the modules. Assembly personnel will need to pay careful attention to the oven's profile to insure that it meets the requirements necessary to successfully reflow all components while still meeting the limits mandated by the modules themselves. Shock During Reflow Transport Since some internal module components may reflow along with the components placed on the board being assembled, it is imperative that the module not be subjected to shock or vibration during the time solder is liquidus. Washability The modules are wash resistant, but are not hermetically sealed. They may be subject to a standard wash cycle; however, a twenty-four-hour drying time should be allowed before applying electrical power to the modules. This will allow any moisture that has migrated into the module to evaporate, thus eliminating the potential for shorting during power-up or testing. 125∞C 600 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 ∞C 120180240300 3090150210270330360 180∞C 210∞C 220∞C Temperature Time (Seconds) Ideal Curve Limit Curve Forced Air…
