Exposure of humans to RF fields As per Section 1.1310 mobile transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to RF energy levels in accordance with OST/OET Bulletin Number 65. Calculations have been made using the General Public Exposure limits. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below at 422 MHz. Power density, mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 - General Public / Uncontrolled exposure limit will be 0.281 mW/cm 2 or 32.5 V/m. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain, transmitter duty cycle and separation distance in metres: E, V/m = (√ (30 * P * G * DC)) / d The rated maximum transmitter power (P) = 5 watts. Transmitter is operated using an antenna with a gain (G) of up to 20 (+13 dBi). The client has declared a duty cycle (DC) of 100% (1) General Public / Uncontrolled d = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E d = √ (30 * 5 * 20 * 1) / 32.5 d = 1.68 metres or 168 cm Result: Complies if the above safe distance is defined in the user manual for this equipment.

AT T E S TAT I ON 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 does not contain corrections or erasures. 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. 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.
