V1Y 9L3 Canada Tel. 250-860-3130 • Fax. 250-860-3110 • [email protected] www.globuswireless.com/celltech/celltech.htm September 14, 2000 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Approval Services 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Attn: Andy Leimer SUBJECT: ITRONIX CORPORATION FCC ID: KBCXC6250RIM801D 731 Confirmation No.: EA98559 Correspondence Reference No.: 16092 Dear Andy, On behalf of Itronix Corporation we hereby submit the following amendment in response to your e-mail dated September 14 requesting additional information for the subject application. 1. The modem will only be operated in the 806-821 MHz frequency range in accordance with the emission mask limits specified in 90.210(g) of the FCC Rules. The modem is capable of operating up to 825MHz and therefore was tested accordingly. Please refer to the previously submitted frequency attestation statement from the applicant confirming the above. 2. Please find attached the calibration certificate and gain information for the dipole antenna used for the ERP measurements. The following is a detailed description of the ERP signal substitution measurement method used: The EUT is first placed into the field test area at 3.0 meters. The field of maximum intensity is found by rotating the EUT approximately 360 degrees and changing the height of the receive antenna from 1 to 4 meters. Both horizontal and vertical polarizations are investigated. The field strength is recorded from a calibrated spectrum analyzer for each channel being performed. The EUT is then replaced with a calibrated dipole of a well-known gain. The dipole is fed through a directional coupler and the power at the coupler port is monitored. The field of maximum intensity is found for the dipole and the power adjusted in order to read the same on the spectrum analyzer that was found for the EUT. The feed point for the dipole is then connected to a calibrated power meter and the power adjusted to read the same as the coupler port previously recorded, to account for any mismatch in impedance, which may occur at the dipole antenna. The forward power for the dipole is then determined. The actual ERP level is determined by adding the forward power and the calibrated gain of the dipole. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Shawn McMillen General Manager Celltech Research Inc. Testing & Engineering Lab cc: Itronix Corporation

RF Exposure Info

Section 4. If You Have a Radio Modem with your communications software for information on using the program with a radio network. Your network provider can answer questions regarding specific network features, host connectivity, registration options, billing, and geographic coverage areas. In some cases, your network provider can also assist you with selecting modem setup options for your communications software. Using the Integrated Radio Modem This section provides basic information on operating your mobile computer’s integrated radio modem. Antenna Positioning The mobile computer radio antenna has maximum sensitivity in the full vertical upright position. For best radio reception, position the antenna as shown below. You can fold the antenna down while the radio is not being used. While the display is open CAUTION For RIM 901 Radios: While the radio is operating, its antenna must be at least 5 cm from all persons in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limit. Radio operators must make sure their radio unit is in compliance with these FCC regulations. See Section 9 for important information about vehicle-mounted antennas. CAUTION For RIM 801 Radios: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements this device must be operated with a minimum separation distance of 3 cm (1.2 inches) between the user/nearby person and the antenna, with the antenna in the vertical upright position. This is the intended position of the antenna when using the RIM 801D radio modem installed in the unit. 50 79-0003-003 22 October 1999
