Product Description for the Wherify Wireless Personal Locator 11/19/01 Page 1 The Personal Locator, is a device worn on a person’s wrist like a wristwatch that enables tracking of the wearer’s location within the coverage of the North American cellular network using an internal autonomous/server-aided GPS receiver. The Wherify Personal Location System embeds a pioneering, highly miniaturized location system within a light-weight wristwatch that allows consumers to easily determine the location of their children, elderly parents or other at-risk loved ones via the Internet or telephone. Unlike any other personal location-based service available today, the Wherify Personal Location System includes Global Positioning System (GPS) and digital PCS mobile phone technology, resulting in a miniature 3.3-oz. Safety device that delivers a fast, accurate, reliable and easy-to-use safety solution. Wherify’s end-to-end solution includes the wearable device itself and a 24x7 location service that can be accessed via the Internet or by telephone to locate a child or loved one within a few feet of their exact location. The location process will typically takes less than a minute. In the event of an emergency, either the child or guardian can request an emergency 911 response, and local police will be dispatched. The Personal Locator will operate as an IS-95B mobile station on the wireless network. When it receives the appropriate command from the Wireless network it will perform a location calculation using the internal GPS receiver and transmit the data using data services. The device will have following capabilities: • Originate and receive digital communications to and from the IS-95B wireless network • Receive ephemeris data from the GPS server • Acquire and track signals from GPS satellites and perform location calculations • Transmit and receive status and configuration data over the air and key fob serial port • Download software through key fob serial port • Lock and unlock the clasp mechanism electronically • Monitor and report the status of clasp lock • Receive and display numeric messages • Monitor and report the status of tamper detection circuitry • Display the time of day • Display icons for battery level, lock status, signal strength, “Airplane” mode The CDMA antenna used in the Wherify personal locator is a Contrawound Helical Antenna (CTHA) implemented on a PCB. It is an electrically small antenna constructed from a generalized contrawound toroidal helix made from a single continuous conductor divided into two length portions each of which are substantially the same length and which have a generalized helical pattern. The helical pitch senses of the two length portions are opposite to one another. The two length portions are insulated from one another and overlap one another on the surface of a generalized toroid. A signal is fed to Product Description for the Wherify Wireless Personal Locator 11/19/01 Page 2 the antenna at a port defined by the node locations where the respective length portions join one another, or at a diametrically opposite point. At the fundamental mode of operation, the antenna is a half guided wavelength in circumference. The size of the antenna is further reduced because of the slow-wave properties of the underlying generalized contrawound toroidal helix. The antenna is omnidirectional with vertical polarization with a radiation pattern similar to an electric dipole, but in a physical package that is substantially smaller.

Description of Radio Parameter Alignment for Wherify Personal Locator The CDMA radio in the Wherify Locator has no manual tuning. All adjustments are made electronically using the capabilities of the analog section of the LSI ASIC. The following is a brief description of the setup, and the various alignment procedures required. General Description Alignment is done exclusively using the features of the E8285A CDMA Mobile Station Test Set (SW Ver. A.04.53 or later), a power supply capable of supplying 4V @ 2A, an interface board, and a PC running LSI’s ETS application for control of the CDMA radio. The CDMA radio in the Wherify Locator is connected via an antenna cable to the RF IN/OUT port on the E8285A. The cable loss is entered in as RF Level Offsets under the Config screen. The PC is connected to the interface board through the RS232 interface. The interface board is then connected to the Wherify locator. For receiver alignment, the E8285A generates a receive signal using channel 600 on the US-PCS channel plan. This signal is a Full Rate CDMA signal using Service Mode 2 and the J-STD-008 protocol. The ETS application returns the received signal strength through it’s interface with the radio. For Tx alignment, the E8285A is set to measure Channel Power on Channel 600 of the US-PCS plan. The CDMA radio in the Wherify Locator is set to produce a Full Rate CDMA signal using the ETS application. By adjusting the power level DAC with the ETS application, our set points are achieved. The following sections detail the specific alignments procedures. RX AGC vs. RX Gain Alignment For the receiver section, we inject a known reference signal at our calibration frequency into the antenna connector and read the Rx AGC HW Val. We record this DAC level with the known signal level in a table and jump to the next point, which is typically 5 or 10 dB away. The low gain range is between –25 dBm and –85 dBm. Then we enable the hardware amplification, and measure and record more points over a medium range of –75 dBm to –110 dBm. By design, we make sure to plot points that overlap in each range so when we switch from one range to the other, there is no extrapolation error. The hysterisis points are –85 dBm and –75 dBm for switching between low and med ranges. These points are recorded into the RX AGC vs. RX Gain table in flash for future use by the Call Processing Stack Description of Radio Parameter Alignment for Wherify Personal Locator RX Gain vs. Channel Freq. Alignment The next step is to set the frequency offsets. These are necessary to correct for any non- linearities in the receiver front end. A calibration signal from the Rx AGC calibration is injected into the antenna connector at a known fixed level. Then the Rx AGC ADC is read and recorded as the reference. Other frequencies are injected, and the signal power is adjusted until our Rx AGC ADC matches the reference value. These points are recorded in the Rx Gain vs Channel Freq. table for future use by the Call Processing Stack. RX Temp Alignment The method here is to read the Rx AGC ADC at different temperatures and provide a dB offset from the calibration temperature. Since the Rx AGC vs RX Gain alignment is done at room temperature, we take a Rx AGC ADC value recorded at a particular level and call that the reference. We then adjust the ambient temperature to several set points across the radio’s operating temperature range and adjust the input level so that the Rx AGC ADC matches the reference. We then record the delta dB in the table with the temperature in Centigrade units. This forms the RX Temp table. Typically we do two measurements below 25C and two measurements above. TX Power vs AGC Alignment This is done in much the same way as the RX AGC alignment except that we have 3 ranges, and we adjust the output power generated by the radio to a set point. These set points are typically 10 dB but closer points are plotted for areas where there is more variation. The low range is –50 dBm to -20 dBm. The med range is –30 dBm to 0 dBm. The high range is –10 dBm to 20 dBm. Where the hysterisis points are –20 dBm and –30 dBm for low/med range, and 0 dBm and –10 dBm for med/high range. This forms the TX Power vs AGC table. TX Gain vs Channel Freq Alignment This is done by putting out a Tx AGC DAC value that gives us a known output power at the calibration frequency. The frequency is then changed to all the desired points across the band, and the delta dB level is recorded per frequency. This forms the Tx Gain vs Channel Freq table. Description of Radio Parameter Alignment for Wherify Personal Locator TX Limit vs Channel Freq Alignment We have a hard coded limit of 25 dBm in the Call Processing Stack firmware. This offset provides a limit above or below that. We currently set our limit to 20 dBm, thus this offset becomes –5 dB. It does not appear necessary to adjust this to frequency as the TX Gain vs Channel Freq does a good enough job. This value is uploaded to the unit at calibration forming the Tx Limit vs Channel Freq table. TX Power Detection vs ADC Alignment We do not align this setting as the PA is designed to operate in open loop mode, thus we simply upload 0xFFFF. A closed loop is made when in connection with the base station transceiver. TX Temperature Alignment The method here is similar to the RX Temperature Alignment. However we set the Tx AGC DAC to an ambient reference level, measure the power, and call this the reference. Then the temperature is adjusted to the required set points, and the transmitter is turned on with the ambient Tx AGC DAC level again. The difference between the ambient reference level and the temp. level are recorded in the Tx Temp table.

There is no voice mode. Here is a summary of the product description and theory of operation for the Personal LOCATOR. The Personal LOCATOR is a wrist worn device containing a network assisted GPS receiver and the data transfer capabilities of a 1900 MHz CDMA phone. 1. It does not support voice services 2. It is designed for very low duty cycle operation 3. It is not designed for extended “on” times 4. It has a maximum transmit power of +24 dBm with an omni directional antenna for transmit 5. The battery has a 410 maHr capacity 6. The unit will run in normal standby mode for 1.5 days The operational cycle of the device is called a LOCATE. In normal use, the product will be used to make about 25 LOCATEs per month. In emergency use, the product can be configured to make a LOCATE every 2 minutes until the battery is exhausted. Each LOCATE consists of the following steps: 1. The Call Center sends the LOCATOR an SMS message that requests the LOCATOR to establish an internet QNC session 2. The LOCATOR initiates the QNC session and receives an Ephemeris is data package that is 750 Bytes maximum 3. The LOCATOR terminates the session and powers down the CDMA RF section 4. The LOCATOR powers up the GPS receiver and acquires a location fix. This requires from a few seconds to over a minute Wherify Wireless, Inc. 2000 Bridge Parkway, Suite 201 Redwood Shores, CA 94065 Tel 650.551.5200 Fax 650.551.5225 www.wherifywireless.com Wireless Location Services 5. The LOCATOR powers down the GPS receiver and powers up the CDMA RF section 6. The LOCATOR initiates a second QNC session with 60 to 280 byte transmission of where it is 7. The LOCATOR returns to CDMA slotted mode -Power down the CDMA RF section -Wait for 1.28 seconds -Power up the CDMA RF section for ~40 mS to receive any page traffic -Repeat cycle until an SMS message is received Worse case transmission is during an emergency configuration on a poor link, which will require maximum transmit power, and longest on-air time, due to using the lowest data rate. During this mode, there is an initial 24.5 seconds transmission followed by a 24.1 seconds transmission every two minutes until the battery is exhausted. The battery will last approximately 28 cycles or about 55.8 minutes. We are asking for relief in the SAR test requirement. If you have any additional questions, please direct them to me.
