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 determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference 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. Note: Whenever any FreeWave Technologies module is placed inside an enclosure a label must be placed on the outside of that enclosure which includes the module's FCC ID. UL Notification Model# HT2+ is not UL approved at this time. High Throughput Wireless Data Transceiver Installation Guide LIG000^AA Rev A 4 of 7 A. Transceiver installation steps To install the HT2+ series transceivers, follow the basic steps given below. 1. Mount the transceiver to the flat, stable surface using mounting holes in the case of the enclosure. Transceiver models sold under FCC ID KNY-42182112519 are to be installed professionally in NEMA enclosures. 2. Install the antenna and connect the antenna feedline to the transceiver. If you are installing a directional antenna, preset the antenna’s direction appropriately. The antenna must be professionally installed on fixed-mounted permanent outdoor structures for satisfying RF exposure requirements. 3. Connect a computer to the transceiver’s RJ45 port or to an Ethernet connection on the same network segment as the transceiver (please refer to the HT2+ manual for additional information). This computer will be used to set the radio configuration. 4. Install the power for the radio. 5. Connect to the transceiver’s Web page and set the radio configuration according to the system topology and data terminal equipment requirements. Default transceiver settings allow users to do a quick installation without major changes in transceiver’s configuration. However, there is one parameter that must be considered for a new installation – the transceiver’s power output setting. (“Transmit Power”. Radio Setup menu > Transmission Characteristics section.) Transceiver output power level must be set according to the tables given below to satisfy FCC maximum EIRP requirement. Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with FreeWave transceivers must either be one of the approved antennas shown below or an antenna approved by FreeWave Technologies with comparable performance parameters. FreeWave Technologies offers a variety of Omni-directional and directional external antennas, with both bracket and magnetic mounts. The complete list of antennas available from FreeWave Technologies including antenna gains, antenna manufacturer’s information and antenna’s characteristics is shown below: The following antennas are approved for use with FreeWave HT2+ model transceivers: 900MHz Directional Antennas Gain Manufacturer Manufacturer Model Number FreeWave Model Number 11dBi Larsen YA5900-W EAN0900YA 10dB BlueWave BMY890K5502N4 EAN0900YC NOTE: Use of EAN0900YA requires a cable equivalent to FreeWave part # AS1504xx. This 150’ LMR-400 cable and will provide ~5.85dB of attenuation, thus allowing the transceiver to run at full power and comply with FCC regulations. Scale …

October 31, 2007 Re: FreeWave Technologies, Inc. (Grantee Code: KNY) FCC ID No. KNY-42182112519 Request for Modular Transmitter Approval Model Number FGR2-xx Dear Sir or Madam: FreeWave Technologies, Inc. (“FreeWave”) requests a Modular Transmitter Approval to its equipment authorization (FCC ID No. KNY-42182112519) for its 900 MHz modular DTS Transmitter (Model No. FGR2-xx). The purpose of this request is to allow the modular transmitter to be installed in devices manufactured by qualified vendors other than FreeWave. On or about November 19, 2007, FreeWave will receive a grant of equipment authorization for the FGR2-xx modular transmitter from Elite Electronic Engineering, Inc. (Elite), a Telecommunications Certification Body. 1 Elite approved the device under the Commission’s procedures for limited modular approvals (“LMA”) contained in Public Notice DA 00-1407. 2 Under these procedures, the manufacturer of a modular transmitter may obtain an LMA by committing that it either: (1) will install the module only in devices produced by a specific manufacturer, typically the grantee; or (2) can demonstrate that it will retain control over the final installation of the device such that compliance of the end product is assured. 3 FreeWave satisfies the requirements for the second alternative. The FGR2- xx DTS transmitter is installed in a NEMA enclosure and professional installation of the antenna used with the device is required. The device is not sold to the general public and FreeWave’s sales department personnel are instructed as to this restriction to ensure that no sales to the general public occur. In addition, FreeWave provides its customers with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. FreeWave further ensures proper installation procedures are communicated to the professional installer responsible for the installation of the product. In sum, FreeWave regulates the distribution and installation of the transmitter to ensure full compliance with the requirements for limited modular approvals set forth in Public Notice DA 00-1407. 1 See Grant of Equipment Authorization, FreeWave Technologies, Inc., FCC ID No. KNY- 42182112519 (Sept. 30, 2007). 2 See Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Approval, Public Notice, DA 00-1407 (June 26, 2000). 3 See id. Accordingly, FreeWave respectfully requests that the grant (FCC ID No. KNY-42182112519) should read as follows: “The antenna(s) to be used with this limited modular transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 23 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device must be installed in NEMA enclosures. End-user and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. Professional installation of this product is required.” In accordance with Section 2.1043(b)(2) of the Commission’s rules, FreeWave confirms that the FGR2-xx radio transceiver will not be marketed with the changes requested herein prior to the grant of this request. Please direct any questions concerning this request to the undersigned or to counsel for FreeWave, Henry Goldberg, Esq., at (202) 429-4900.

November 27, 2007 FCC ID: KNY-42182112519 Maximum Permissible Exposure calculations To whom it may concern, FreeWave Technologies is submitting a low power output 902-928 MHz frequency DTS transceiver (FCC ID: KNY-42182112519). The MPE distance will be calculated for the worst case of a 100% transmitter duty cycle. For an isotropic radiator the surface area of a sphere can be used to determine the area over which the transceiver energy is radiated. Surface area of a sphere = 4 * π * radius 2 In the case where there is an antenna gain, the worst case energy density is increased by the antenna gain. In this case, the exposure level for a controlled environment can be calculated as follows: MPE distance =((output power*duty cycle*10*(antenna gain/10))/(4* π*Exposure Limit [mW/cm 2 ])) 1/2 In the case of 6 dBi antenna MPE distance = ((1000 mW * 1 * 3.98) /( 4 * 3.14 * 0.6)) 1/2 = 22.981 cm Sincerely, Rich Arment Engineering Technician
