INFORMATION FOR THE USER Registration Number: FCC iD No. KF5 ORTOVOX 3 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) the device may not cause harmful interference and (2) the device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an intentional radiator pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec- tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter- mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer- ence by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 27GB QuicK guide sWiTching On/ OFF sWiTching On Undo the lOCKiNg sliDe (10) and turn the sWiTCH-ON leVeR (1) counter-clockwise.

Revision Date Pages Affected - July 26, 2010 Original Release A August 9, 2010 5, 6 Page 3 of 13 Test Report No. R-5344N, Rev. A FCC ID: KF5ORTOVOX3 Retlif Testing Laboratories R Test Program Summary Job Number: R-5344N Customer: Ortovox USA, Inc. Address: 455 Irish Hill Road Hopkinton, NH 03229 Test Sample: Avalanche Transceiver/Beacon Model Number: 3+ Serial Number: N/A Type: Avalanche Transceiver Power Requirements: 1.5 VDC Internal Battery Frequency Operation: 457 kHz Application: Locates avalanche victims Manufacturer/Applicant: Ortovox Sportartikel Manufacturer Address: Rotwandweg 5 D-82024 Taufkirchen Germany Test Specification: FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15, Subpart C, Paragraph 15.209 Test Procedure: ANSI C3.4:2003 Purpose: The purpose of this test program was to demonstrate compliance of the Avalanche Transceiver/Beacon to the requirements of FCC Part 15.209. Test Methods: The following table depicts the test methods that were performed on the EUT and the corresponding test results: Testing Date(s) Test Method Test Results July 14-15, 2010 15.209, Radiated Emissions (450 kHz to 1 GHz) Complied Test Sample Operation: The Avalanche Transceiver/Beacon is used to locate avalanche victims and is powered by 1.5 VDC via internal battery. It is manually activated by the user and in transmit mode, will continuously transmit at 457 kHz. During testing, the EUT was continuously transmitting at 457 kHz with a new battery installed. As the test sample operates at close to 100% duty cycle no duty cycle factor was applied. Page 4 of 13 Test Report No. R-5344N, Rev. A FCC ID: KF5ORTOVOX3 Retlif Testing Laboratories R Test Sample/Test Program: • 15.203 Antenna Requirements -The device uses a permanently attached internal antenna. The antenna is totally enclosed inside the case. • 15.205 Restricted Bands - No emissions were observed from the EUT in any restricted bands. • 15.207 Conducted Emissions-Not applicable (battery operated device) • 15.209 Radiated Emissions-Fundamental Frequency 457 kHz, Harmonic/Spurious Emissions 450 kHz to 1000MHz • No harmonic or spurious emissions above the third harmonic were observed within 10dB of the specified limit at test distances of 1 or 3 meters. • Radiated Emissions from the EUT were measured in all three axis. The attached Radiated Emissions test data shows the maximized fundamental emission of each orientation. Determination of Field Strength Limits: The field strength limits shown below were calculated as instructed in Section 15.209. Fundamental Frequency: 457 kHz Where F is the frequency in kHz, the formula for calculating the maximum permitted fundamental field strength at 300 meters is: 2400/(F) = Field Strength Limit (uV/M @ 300 meters) 2400/(457) = 5.25uV/M Field Strength Limit of 5.25uV/M = 14.4 dBuV/M The maximum permitted unwanted emission level cannot exceed the level of the fundamental emission. Distance Factor: Testing was performed at a 3 meter distance and the field strength reading extrapolated to 300 meters for comparison to the 300 meter limit. The field strength reading was extrapolated using the extrapolation (distance) factor of 40dB/decade as specified in 15.31 (f) (2) for frequencies below 30MHz. Distance Factor from 300 meters to 3 meters (2 decades) = -80dB Page 5 of 13 Test Report No. R-5344N, Rev. A FCC ID: KF5ORTOVOX3 Retlif Testing Laboratories R Test Methods: 15.209 Radiated Emissions The test sample was placed on an 80cm high wooden test stand which was located 3 meters from the test antenna on an FCC listed open area test site. Emissions from the EUT were maximized by rotating the test sample and adjusting the test sample orientation and antenna polarization. Test Results: The maximized peak field strength at 457 kHz was 1.49uV/M (3.49 dBμV/M)` and met the average limit specified in 15.209 therefore also meeting the peak emission requirement specified in 15.35. No harmonic/spurious emissions were observed at 3 or 1 meter test distances. The maximized corrected peak field strength was calculated as follows: R C = M R + C F - D F Where: R C = Corrected Reading in dBμV/M M R = Uncorrected Meter Reading in dBμV C F = Correction Factor in dB (Antenna Factor + Cable Loss) D F = Distance Factor in dB M R = 74.39 dBμV C F = 9.10 dB D F = 80 dB R C = 74.39dBuV + 9.1dB – 80dB = 3.49 dBμV/M Page 6 of 13 Test Report No. R-5344N, Rev.
