ATTESTATION This report describes the tests and measurements performed for the purpose of determining compliance with the specification with the following conditions: The client selected the test sample. The report relates only to the sample tested. This report contain corrections on page 20 & 21, the value of limit has been corrected. Measurement uncertainties with statistical confidence intervals of 95% are shown below test results. Both Class A and Class B uncertainties have been accounted for, as well as influence uncertainties where appropriate. In addition this equipment has been tested in accordance with the requirements contained in the appropriate Commission regulations. All compliance statements have been made with respect of the specification limit with no reference to the measurement uncertainty. To the best of my knowledge, these tests were performed using measurement procedures that are consistent with industry or Commission standards and demonstrate that the equipment complies with the appropriate standards. I further certify that the necessary measurements were made by EMC Technologies NZ Ltd, 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.

The product uses POCSAG as internal modulation scheme which is an asynchronous protocol used to transmit data to pagers. The modulation used is FSK with a ±4.5 kHz shift on the carrier. The high frequency represents a 0 and the low frequency a 1. The ±4.5 kHz frequency shift is used along with a 25.0 kHz channel spacing, known as "wideband". 512 and 1200 baud rates are supported by the product. Transmitter Type One way paging transmitter. Emission designators 12k2F1D for 25.0 kHz channel bandwidth Channel Spacing Equipment designed to operate using 2…

Exposure of humans to RF fields As per FCC KDB 447498 D01 and Section 2.1091 radio frequency transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to RF energy levels. Calculations have been made using the General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure limits that are defined in Section 1.1310. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. Power density, mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 - General Population / Uncontrolled exposure is 0.2 mW/cm 2 As this radio can operate over the range of 30-300 MHz the lowest frequency of operation which will give the worst case result, would be 150.9 MHz. The power density at 150.9 MHz comes out to be 0.20 mW/cm 2 . For Uncontrolled Environment Power Density = 0.20 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √0.20*3770 E = 27.5 V/m The rated maximum transmitter power = 5 watts (+37 dBm). A worst case duty cycle (DC) of 100% (1.0) has been applied to the calculations. The client has suggested that a standard 3 dBi antenna type would be used by customers with the transmitter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 27 of 31 Test Report No 191206.2 31 st January 2020 This report may not be reproduced except in full. Calculations of the safe distance for these types of antenna are detailed as below. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the following Field strength in V/m (E), Transmit power in watts (P) Transmit antenna gain (G) Transmitter duty cycle (DC) Separation distance in metres (D) The calculation is as follows: D = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E The calculation for the safe distance would be as follows: D = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E D = √ (30 * 5*2*1.0) / 27.5 D = 0.62 metres or 62 cm Result: Complies if the safe distances defined for this environment is applied.
