Continental Automotive Camelia Teicu I BS AS EE/RF 1 of 6 User Manual of the Continental ALFA434 (ASK/FSK 433.92MHz) Continental Automotive Camelia Teicu I BS AS EE/RF 2 of 6 1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The ALFA434 is a transmitter designed to provide remote keyless entry, passive entry, passive engine start, and immobilization functionality, it is part of a larger system provided by Continental which allows the customer to: • Remotely start the engine. • Remotely lock the doors. • Remotely unlock the doors. • Remotely open the trunk. • Remotely find the car. • Remotely activate the alarm (panic mode). • Remotely unlock and lock doors in passive mode (PASE). • Start engine in passive mode (PASE). • Start the car via push button (IMMO immobilization). • Use mechanical emergency key as back-up to access to the vehicle. • The system consists of PASE FOBIK, RFHM, and IMMO. The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Start uses a Radio Frequency (RF) link for communication between the end user and the vehicle; For Passive Entry and Passive Start function, FOBIK receives LF command from RFHM via a Low Frequency (LF) link and responses back via RF link. The Immobilization uses a Low Frequency (LF) link for communication/authentication between FOBIK and IMMO. Continental Automotive Camelia Teicu I BS AS EE/RF 3 of 6 2.

Applying the above data using the given KDB 447498 D01 formula, and minimum separation distance of 5mm, the following results: (1.2mW / 5 mm) x √0.433 GHz = 0.16 (i.e.: ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR) Conclusion This demonstrates the ALFA434_Fobik meets the criteria for 1-g head/ body and 10-g extremity SAR test exemption.
