Statement from Digital Control Incorporated: The DigiRadio™2 module (model DR2), designed for use in DigiTrak® brand handheld receivers (UHF transmitter) and remote displays (UHF receiver), is installed in the host devices at the manufacturer. The antenna used in the UHF transmitter host devices is also installed at the manufacturer. The maximum gain of the antenna used with the DR2 module is 0.1 dBi. The antenna drawing is shown below. Note the antenna type is: dipole.

DigiRadio2 (DR2) Tuning Attestation from Digital Control: Currently we do not do any tuning of the DigiRadio2 module, model DR2. The DR2 relies on the host device to program the specific carrier frequency. We verify its functionality by making sure we can pick up the transmitted signal using a receiver tuned to the same frequency. While there are provisions in the Si4464 to adjust the Load Capacitance and Frequency Offset of the Local Oscillator, the DR2 uses a high precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that does not require fine-tuning. Default values are hardcoded into the DigiRadio2 firmware and cannot be changed by the host device. Basically, the radio either works or it doesn’t.

Address: 19625 62nd Avenue South, Suite B103 City, State, Zip: Kent, WA 98032 Test Requested By: Amanda Hamm Model: DigiRadio2 (DR2) Information Provided by the Party Requesting the Test Functional Description of the EUT (Equipment Under Test): FM at 9600 bps (4800 Manchester bps) with an output power of 100mW. Operating at 464.5-469.55 MHz Testing Objective: To demonstrate compliance with FCC requirements for RF exposure for 2.1091 mobile devices Report No. DIGC0168.26/9 WD.12.29.11 Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) OVERVIEW Human exposure to RF emissions from mobile devices (47 CFR §2.1091) may be evaluated based on the MPE limits adopted by the FCC for electric and magnetic field strength and/or power density, as appropriate, since exposures are assumed to occur at distances of 20 cm or more from persons. ANSI C95.1-1992 specifies a minimum separation distance of 20 cm for performing reliable field measurements to determine adherence to MPE limits. If the minimum separation distance between a transmitter and nearby persons is more than 20 cm under normal operating conditions, compliance with MPE limits may be determined at such distance from the transmitter. When applicable, operation instructions and prominent warning labels may be used to alert the exposed persons to maintain a specified distance from the transmitter or to limit their exposure durations and usage conditions to ensure compliance. If the use of warning labels on a transmitter is not effective or desirable, the alternative of performing SAR evaluation with the device at its closest range to persons under normal operating conditions may be used. The field strength and power density limits adopted by the FCC are based on whole-body averaged exposure and the assumption of RF field levels relate most accurately to estimating whole-body averaged SAR. This means some local values of exposures exceeding the stated field strength and power density limits may not necessarily imply non-compliance if the spatial average of spatially averaged RF fields over the exposed portions of a person’s body does not exceed the limits.

REV 2013.03.8 MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY Measurement Uncertainty When a measurement is made, the result will be different from the true or theoretically correct value. The difference is the result of tolerances in the measurement system that cannot be completely eliminated. To the extent that technology allows us, it has been our aim to minimize this error. Measurement uncertainty is a statistical expression of measurement error qualified by a probability distribution. A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document WP 342. The estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty (K=2) for each test is listed below. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of the applicable specification; therefore, the test data can be compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for estimating measurement uncertainty are based upon ETSI TR 100 028 (or CISPR 16-4-1 as applicable), and are available upon request. The following table represents the Measurement Uncertainty (MU) budgets for each of the tests that may be contained in this report. Test + MU - MU Frequency Accuracy (Hz) 0.12 -0.01 Amplitude Accuracy (dB) 0.49 -0.49 Conducted Power (dB) 0.41 -0.41 Radiated Power via Substitution (dB) 0.69 -0.68 Temperature (degrees C) 0.81 -0.81 Humidity (% RH) 2.89 -2.89 Field Strength (dB) 3.80 -3.80 AC Powerline Conducted Emissions (dB) 2.94 -2.94 REV 2012.05.24 ACCREDITATIONS AND AUTHORIZATIONS United States FCC - Designated by the FCC as a Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB).
