American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 July 23, 2002 RE: BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FCC ID: O6M-WE302 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) The Maximum output power (conducted) or SAR drift measured at same position in liquid before and after each SAR test must be shown on each SAR plot? Please update the report to include this. 2) Test report must state (recommended on page 19 of 30): a) Identification of the device (was it considered mobile or portable transmitter device category) b) whether test device is production unit or identical prototype (47 CFR §2.908)? 3) Please provide a means to verify a phantom liquid depth. Depth must be 15 cm or more, per suppl. C and draft IEEE STD 1528. Please use photos, SAR vs. depth data (z-axis scan), or other means to demonstrate/verify liquid depth. 4) IEEE STD 1528 requires that the SAR test be performed at the high, middle, and low frequency channels of each operating mode. However, if the SAR measured at the middle channel for each test configuration is at least 2.0 dB lower than the SAR limit, testing at the high channels is optional (Note: this procedure is stated on page 6 & 17 of 30. The data provided is for the low channel only. Please provide data for the middle channel. 5) Please provide a description of the material/holder used to support the laptop. 6) Please justify and explain the use of a crest factor of 8. 7) A z-axis scan at the max SAR location must be provided. 8) OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C make mention of using the Flat Phantom Box for system verification. Please justify the use of this box for over the SAM phantom containing a flat body cavity. 9) Description of the phantom should detail shell thickness and other tolerances necessary to show it meets the phantom shell specifications. 10) Scan procedures given in the report appear to be for different phantoms. Please explain for the course scan: a) descriptions of coarse area scan procedures, including grid size, area shape and size b) specify which peak SAR location(s) were used to evaluate max 1-g SAR(s) c) report probe tip distance to phantom inner surface 11) Scan procedures given in the report appear to be for different phantoms. Please explain for the "zoom" scan: a) descriptions of high-resolution cube volume or “zoom” scan procedures used for local scan; list measurement and interpolation resolutions 12) The tissue parameters appear to be that of head tissue and not body tissue, please explain. 13) The tissue dielectric parameters and temperature should be measured at device mid-band frequencies. It appears that these were performed at the lower frequency. 14) SAR Plots must show: a) Ambient and liquid temperatures b) liquid temperatures during SAR testing must stay within ± 2° C. 15) The Tissue Parameters given on page 20 do not appear to match the parameters given on the test plots. Please explain. 16) Page 17 of 30 mentions "the above mentioned power values are conducted measured values..." . There is not any reported power values on this page. 17) Please provide a brief description of the reference source (e.g., 900, 1800 MHz dipoles) used to verify the SAR system performance. 18) Please provide the manufacturer/calibration reference dipole data. 19) Regarding the Field Probe: a) description of the probe – including tip diameter, internal sensor offset from tip, etc b) description of the probe measurement errors c) Description of probe calibration errors/uncertainties d) Please provide most recent calibration date and calibration certificate showing all factors used in report. - Continued on Next Page - z Page 2July 23, 2002 20) A list of measured tissue dielectric parameters, ambient and tissue temperatures must be provide for the system verification. These values must be within 5% of the values used in system manufacturer’s reference test. Timothy R.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 August 1, 2002 RE: BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FCC ID: O6M-WE302 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Most device are placed underneath the phantom and the liquid depth above is specified to be 15 cm. However, this device was tested from the side of the box (vs. underneath) and therefore the distance as you move away from the device through the liquid (in this case will be horizontally) does not appear to give you 15 cm. Please justify acceptance of testing from the side of the box vs. underneath the box, given the liquid does not provide a 15 cm 'depth' as you move transversely away from the device. 2) Is manufacturer/calibration plots available for the dipole used for system verification that includes a list of measured tissue dielectric parameters, ambient and tissue temperatures during the calibration. These values (ε & σ) should be within 5% of those used during testing. 3) The test report only provides test data for the lowest channel. However the procedure given in the test report (which also match 1528/supplement C) on page 6 of 30 (last paragraph) and page 17 of 30 (last paragraph) state that the middle channel is tested first and if this is at least 2 dB below the SAR limit, the high and low channel is optional. Please provide further justification for only providing data for the lowest channel. 4) A field probe must be calibrated in tissue media with the target dielectric parameters specified in Appendix C of IEEE 1528, corresponding to the operating frequency ranges of the test device. Probe conversion factors by extrapolation is not allowed for TCB approval and the calibration should be performed within 5% target dielectric property window for the testing performed (dielectric information was not specified in calibration information). Please provide probe calibration information for the 2.4 GHz band measured. Also please note that the SAR correction factors listed in the report and were used are not exactly as those that appear on the calibration information already provided. 5) The test report claims a Crest Factor of 8. We understand that you are awaiting justification from the manufacturer. 6) When measuring pulsed signals with low duty factors or high peak-to-average ratios, the probe must be calibrated with correction factors to accurately measure SAR with respect to the average power. Given a Crest Factor of 8, please provide information regarding the probes correction factors for low duty cycles. Timothy R.
