Arbitron Proprietary Information Page 1 of 4 2006 Arbitron Inc MODEL XT101A IN-CAR TRANSMITTER USER’S GUIDE A. IN CAR/OUT OF CAR 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 elsewhere, such as in their car, at work, etc? To meet this need, the PPM system’s In-Car Transmitter incorporates a low power 433 MHz RF transmitter that acts as an “in-car” beacon. If a panelist is in his car with an In-Car Transmitter present, the RF receiver in his personal people meter (PPM) will detect the transmission and log a positive “in Car” event. The PPM records successful detections in its listening log. The In Car/Out of Car Indicator system is illustrated in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: In Car/Out of Car Indicator System PPM In-Car Transmitter Model XT101A In-Car Transmitter User’s Guide Arbitron Proprietary Information Page 2 of 4 2006 Arbitron Inc B. CODE CONFIGURATION The transmitter emits one of four transmission codes based upon two on-board switches. To configure the transmitter: 1) Open the XT101A case by removing the two screws from the case and lifting the cover; 2) Remove and discard the protective film from the switch bank; and 3) Slide the two switch actuators as shown to select the respective PPM RF codes. See Figure 2 below. SW1 Code = 0x638 SW1 Code = 0x71C SW1 Code = 0x0E3 SW1 Code = 0x1C7 SW1 Code = 0x638 SW1SW1 Code = 0x638 SW1 Code = 0x71C SW1 Code = 0x71C SW1 Code = 0x0E3 SW1 Code = 0x0E3 SW1 Code = 0x1C7 SW1 Code = 0x1C7 Figure 2: Transmitter Code Settings Note: The transmitter must be configured prior to battery installation. Model XT101A In-Car Transmitter User’s Guide Arbitron Proprietary Information Page 3 of 4 2006 Arbitron Inc C. BATTERY INSTALLATION Install two lithium 1.5V AAA batteries (e.g., Energizer L92) as shown in Figure 3. Ensure that the batteries are installed with the proper orientation. Note the polarity markings in the battery holder. Replace the cover and reinstall the two screws – Tighten to 2-3 In-Lbs torque maximum. Figure 3: Transmitter Assembly - Exploded View Note: Battery life is approximately 18 months. Model XT101A In-Car Transmitter User’s Guide Arbitron Proprietary Information Page 4 of 4 2006 Arbitron Inc D. IN-CAR TRANSMITTER PLACEMENT Place the transmitter in the vehicle away from metal surfaces. Since the internal antenna is located on the top side of the unit (i.e., the side without screws), this side should be oriented toward the vehicle interior, preferably toward the panelist. Suggested locations are in a front map pocket, overhead storage bin or center console. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, where driver’s view would be obstructed or where the device would fly free in the event of a sudden stop or accident. E. OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE The operating temperature range of the device is -30ºC to +55ºC (-20ºF to +130ºF). NOTICE Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Arbitron could void the user's authority to operate the equipment FCC STATEMENT This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Outdoor Life:Outdoor life is approximately 2-5 years. Outdoor aging is dependent on climate, the direction the label faces, the surface angle to which the label is applied (horizontal or vertical), and the amount of airborne pollutants to which the label is exposed. Outdoor life is defined as the length of time the imprinting remains legible . Shelf Life:One year from receipt of material Product should be stored in polyethylene bags at 72 degrees F and 50% relative humidity. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Minimum Application Temperature:50 degrees F. For best bonding conditions, application surface should be at room temperature or slightly higher. For maximum bond strength, surface should be clean and dry. A typical cleaning solvent is heptane or isopropyl alcohol. Higher initial bonds are achieved through increased rub down pressure.

The product covered by this report is the Model XT101A In-Car Transmitter. It has only a transmitter which operates at 433.95MHz. Test Methodology Radiated emissions testing was performed according to the procedures specified in ANSI C63.4 (2003). The EUT was maximized around all three orthogonal axes, 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 3Vdc. Fresh batteries were used for testing. The ambient environmental conditions were as follows: Date Temperature Humidity 12/8/06 23.2°C 1008.4mb 12/9/06 23.3°C 1022.7mb Frequency range investigated: 30 MHz- 5GHz Measurement Distance: Frequency (MHz) Distance (m) Comments Fundamental 433.95MHz 3 m Radiated Spurious & harmonics 30 –5000 MHz 3 m Radiated All readings are peak unless otherwise noted.
