MODEL NUMBERSERIAL NUMBERDATE OF PURCHASE POINT OF SALE COMPANY - 2 - Product Description Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) developed the LCD Model Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for use in enclosed structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones was unavailable within the building. It is necessary that sufficient signal be available on the roof of the structure. The BDA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. The external antenna is usually a directional type such as a “yagi”. Internal antennas are usually omnidirectional, although various other types may be used for certain installations. The BDA amplifies both the “uplink” (phone to tower) and “downlink” (tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site. There are seven amplification stages on the downlink and seven on the uplink for a total of +62 to +80 dB nominal gain for each link. Gain can be set using the LCD display and select/up/down switches. There are also LED indicators on the top cover for power overload and gain reduction to prevent oscillation. LED Indicators Warning:The unit has sensed instability due to insufficient isolation between the inside antenna and the outside antenna, and has reduced the gain of the amplifier. This is done to prevent oscilla- tion, which can interfere with the handsets in the covered area and/or the wireless service provider’s base station. Fault:The gain of the unit has been reduced to a minimum in order (Red) to prevent very strong input signals from overloading the amplifier. The amplifier will attempt to recover from this condi- tion, initially at fifteen second intervals and then at four-minute intervals.

MODEL 510-P7 Bi-DIRECTIONAL AMPLIFIER FCC ID LABEL FCC ID NVRCSI510-P7 IC: 4307A-510PS This device complies with parts 90 and 2 of the FCC rules

May 1, 2007 Mr. Scott Wentworth Retlif Laboratories 101 New Boston Rd. Goffstown, NH 03045 Re: Adjustment of the Model 510-P7 In-building Amplifier in the Field The CSI Model 510-P7 In-Building Amplifier offers only adjustment of gain (below its factory-set maximum gain level) to the technician during installation and maintenance activities. This adjustment is dependent on the physical environment in which the amplifier is to be installed and is described in the Installation and Users Manual. This is the only adjustment accessible without opening the amplifier. Frequency response and gain thresholds are factory set and in no circumstance are they to be adjusted in the field.

Evaluation of the CSI Model 510-P7 BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 18 May 2007 General The CSI Model 510-P7 Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in the Cellular Service authorized under part 90. As such, the equipment is required to be evaluated for RF exposure if operated below 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model 510-P7 BDA, the maximum rated output power is +27dbm (500 mW). As stated in the Model 510 Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst-case EIRP will be 1.0 watts or an ERP of 0.61 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is well below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the downlink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 510 manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the BDA the maximum rated output power is +27 dBm (500 mW). With an authorized maximum antenna gain of 11 dBd, the worst-case ERP is 6.3 watts, neglecting cable losses between the antenna and BDA. Under these conditions the unit must be evaluated for minimum separation distances in order to comply with the Exposure limits of 1.1310 of the FCC rules. Using the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin 65 and Supplement C, the power density at a reasonable distance from the maximum gain antenna was calculated. The minimum safe distance was also determined based on the uncontrolled exposure limits defined in Table 1B of FCC rules 1.1311. The following assumptions are made concerning these calculations: Po = 500 mw average Cable Loss = 0 dB Ant Gain = 11 dBd (13.2 dBi) Frequency = 785 MHz + 21 MHz Main Beam (worst-case) Rooftop 100% reflection Reasonable Distance = 4 feet (120 cm) Therefore, from OET Bulletin 65, S = (PG)/4πR 2 or S = EIRP/4πR 2 For 100% reflection, a doubling of the field strength can be expected. The above equation can be modified to, S = (2) 2 PG/4πR 2 = EIRP/πR 2 Solving for S at a distance of 4 feet (120 cm) gives, S = (500) (20.9)/ π (120) 2 = 0.23 mw/cm 2 From FCC rules 1.1311, Table 1B, the allowable limit for uncontrolled exposure is f(MHz) / 1500. At 785 MHz this corresponds to a level of 0.52 mw/cm 2 . The calculated value of 0.23 is below the limit of 0.52 thereby showing compliance under worst-case operating conditions. When the above equation is solved for minimum separation at the exposure limit, R = √(500) (20.9)/ π (0.52) = 80 cm (2.6 feet). As in the case of the downlink, the Cautions in the Model 510amps manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a conservative 4-foot separation.

Testing was performed at both the low band edge and high band edge of each pass band. The output of each signal generator was adjusted so that the two output fundamental frequencies were equal in magnitude. Testing was performed for FM & TDMA Modulation type. At the maximum specified input power levels all intermodulation products were at -13dBm or below for each modulation. See attached test data. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH Measurement Procedure: For Occupied Bandwidth, measurements were made to compare the input signal to the output signal. The signal generator output was connected to the spectrum analyzer. A TDMA modulation signal was then applied to the carrier. Waveforms were then noted on an X-Y plot. Next, the signal generator was connected to the EUT and the output of the EUT was connected to the spectrum analyzer. The output waveform after amplification was then compared to the original input signal to ensure that no significant differences occurred between the input signal and the amplified signal. Testing was performed at one frequency within each passband (uplink and downlink). Testing was repeated with FM Modulation. See Occupied Bandwidth Data. An explanation of the data is as follows: There are two signals superimposed on each plot, one signal is the waveform before modulation, the other is the modulated carrier. In each case the center of the grid shows a narrowband signal projecting out from the center of the modulation envelope. This signal is actually the stored unmodulated signal. Test Report No. R-4816N FCC ID: NVRCSI510-P7 SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT ANTENNA TERMINALS Measurement Procedure: The signal generator output was connected in turn to the uplink and downlink input ports of the EUT. The input power level was at the maximum level which was ascertained during the Power Output test. A spectrum analyzer was connected to the output of the EUT. The input test frequencies used were three frequencies within each passband (uplink and downlink). The level of any spurious emission was recorded. Testing was performed in the frequency range of 30MHz to 9GHz. Testing was performed for FM & TDMA modulation types. The spurious emissions limit is -13dBm as specified in FCC Part 90. All emissions were below the specified -13dBm limit. See attached test data. EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER OF SPURIOUS RADIATION Measurement Procedure: The test sample was placed on a 80cm high wooden test stand which was located 3 meters from the test antenna on an FCC listed test site. A signal generator was connected to the input of the amplifier. The signal generator output was set to provide the input power level necessary to achieve maximum output power of the amplifier at 3 frequencies within each passband (uplink and downlink). The effective radiated power of each out of band spurious emission was measured using the substitution method specified in TIA/EIA-603. The frequency range of the test was 30MHz – 9GHz. The limit for out of band spurious emissions is -13dBm as specified in Part 90. All emissions were below the specified -13dBm limit. See attached test data. RF POWER OUTPUT A signal generator was connected in turn to the uplink and downlink input ports of the test sample. The signal generator was set to maximum input rating and the amplifier was operating at maximum gain. The maximum single channel output power for both the uplink and downlink was measured with a spectrum analyzer connected to the output port. The measured output power was 0.342W for the uplink and 0.354W for the downlink which matched the manufacturer’s rated output power. See attached test data. FREQUENCY STABILITY MEASUREMENTS The test sample does not contain any carrier frequency generation, translation or stabilizing circuitry and frequency stability measurements were not required/performed.
