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 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. Your Personal Meter picks up TV and radio station codes wherever you go. 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 4AM and 6AM. 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…

The product covered by this report is the Model HP107A Locator Hub. It has only a transmitter which operates at 433.92MHz. Test Methodology Radiated emissions testing was performed according to the procedures specified in ANSI C63.4 (2003). The EUT was maximized around one axis, as the EUT can only be installed in one position. The EUT has an integrated internal antenna which can not be maximized separately. The standard test voltage was 120VAC. The ambient environmental conditions were as follows: Date Temperature Humidity 7/24/06 24.7°C 1010.6mb 7/25/06 24.8°C 1012.0mb 7/26/06 25.1°C 1009.8mb 7/29/06 24.6°C 1004.7mb 8/09/06 25.2°C 1014.7mb Frequency range investigated: 30 MHz- 5GHz Measurement Distance: Frequency (MHz) Distance (m) Comments AC conducted 0.15 – 30MHz - Conducted Fundamental 433.82MHz 3 m Radiated Spurious & harmonics 30 –5000 MHz 3 m Radiated All readings are peak unless otherwise noted.

The fundamental did not change. 7.1.4 15.203 The device utilizes an integrated antenna. 7.1.4 15.204 The antenna is not accessible to the user and therefore cannot be easily removed. 2.2 15.205 15.209 The fundamental is not in a restricted band and the spurious emissions in the restricted bands comply with the general emission limits of 15.209. See comment 15.207(b)(2) AC line conducted emissions. EUT meets ICES-006 Issue 1 limits for carrier current systems. A1.1.1(1) 15.231(a) (1) Product complies with 15.231(e), and A1.1.5 (2) (2) Product complies with 15.231(e), and A1.1.5 (3) (3) Product complies with 15.231(e), and A1.1.5 (4) (4) Product complies with 15.231(e), and A1.1.5 15.231(b) Product complies with 15.231(e). A1.1.3 15.231(c) 20dB bandwidth of the emission is less than 0.25% of the center frequency. A1.1.4 15.231(d) Frequency tolerance is not required, because product does not operate in the specified band. A1.1.5 15.231(e) Fundamental and spurious emissions meet the limits specified in this section. Modifications required for compliance: In order to meet the limit at the fundamental, the output power was lowered by increasing R34 from 5.9kOhms to 24.9kOhms.
