Because Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio transmission, voice and data transmission are immediate. The mode of transmission that Bluetooth wireless technology uses ensures both protection from interference and secure data transfers. You might use Bluetooth wireless technology in these ways: n Dial up to the Internet on your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone n Send a fax from your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone n Synchronize your Bluetooth PDA with your notebook n Send your business card to anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth device n Send or receive files from anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook or PDA n Chat with anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook n Play a one-on-one serial game without a cable n Send an e-mail from your training session without being wired to the network Bluetooth Wireless USB Device The Bluetooth USB device uses a reliable radio frequency to transmit data wirelessly. Optimized Antenna The Bluetooth antenna provides powerful performance in all directions.

3Com Corporation July 23, 2001 3930 W. Parkway Blvd. West Valley, UT 84120 FCC TCB Application Reviewer Communication Certification Laboratories 1940 W. Alexander St. Salt Lake City, Utah 84120 Subject:Application for Processing 3Com Model SL-1020 through CCL’s FCC Authorized TCB. Reference: FCC ID # O9C-SL1020 Dear Application Examiner: 3Com Corporation is submitting this application for the certification of the 3Com SL- 1020 wireless USB Device. It operates in the 2400 – 24835 MHz band, with a peak output power of 1.48 mW. The SL-1020 is a wireless transceiver that connects via an USB interface to a PC or laptop computer. This device provides data and voice exchange capabilities with other standard protocol enabled devices. The SL-1020 enables wireless communications with Palms, Palm-PC's, Mobile Phones, LAN Access Points, PSTN Access Points, Cordless Headsets, and other Standard protocol enabled PC's. The SL-1020 transmitter was connected to the PC through a 6 foot cable and a direct connect USB adapter. An 18 inch cable may also be provided. The technical report and exhibits demonstrate compliance with FCC rules 47 CFR 15.24. To facilitate the review process an index of exhibits has been provided within this same file. Thank you for reviewing this application. Best regards, Kaan L.

Block Diagram (Exhibit 4) 2. Schematic Diagrams (Exhibit 5) 3. Operational Description (Exhibit 12) These items contain detailed system and equipment description and related information about the product which 3Com Corporation considers to be proprietary, confidential and a custom design which otherwise would not be released to the general public. Since this design is a basis from which future technological products will evolve, 3Com Corporation also feels that this information would be of benefit to its competitors, and that the disclosure of the information in these exhibits would give our competitors an unfair advantage in the market. Any information for which 3Com has requested confidentiality, but which the FCC may not grant, should be returned to 3Com. Best Regards, Kaan L.

EXHIBIT 11: RF Statement Page 1 of 1 RF Exposure Compliance Requirements Per 47 CFR 15.247 (b)(4), the EUT meets the requirement that it be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines (ref. 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1093. See also OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C). The EUT will be used in personal computers and peripherals and can therefore be considered a portable transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1093. The EUT supports the connection of only one antenna at a time. The MPE estimates are as follows: Table 1 in 47 CFR 1.1310 defines the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population as 1mW/cm 2 . The distance from the EUT’s transmitting antenna where the exposure level reaches the maximum permitted level is calculated using the general equation: S = (PG)/4πR 2 . Where: S = power density (1 mW/cm 2 maximum permitted level) P = power input to the antenna (1.48 mW) G = linear power gain relative to an isotropic radiator (2.9 dBi = numeric gain of 1.95) R = distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna Solving for R, the 1 mW/cm 2 limit is reached 0.48 cm or closer to the transmitting antenna. Therefore, no warning labels, no RF exposure warnings in the user manual, or other protection measures will be used with the EUT. Installation instructions will include the following information: “This device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment, this device must be installed and operated while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of 0.48 cm (0.189 inch), based on an antenna gain of 2.9 dBi.”
