FCC Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense. Any change or modification to this product voids the user’s authority to operate per FCC Part 15 Subpart A. Section 15.21 regulations. Industry Canada Compliance Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 6dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. Caution Reader antennas should be positioned so that personnel in the area for prolonged periods may safely remain at least 23 cm (9 in) in an uncontrolled environment from the antenna’s surface. See FCC OET Bulletin 56 “Hazards of radio frequency and electromagnetic fields” and Bulletin 65 “Human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.” TABLE OF CONTENTS ALR-F800 HARDWARE SETUP GUIDE DOC.

Maximum Permissible Exposure ALNT60; Alien Technology ALR-F800 FCC, Part 15 §1.1310 Industry Canada RSS-Gen §3.2 Calculations for Maximum Permissible Exposure Levels Power Density = Pd (mW/cm 2 ) = EIRP/(4d 2 ) EIRP = P * G P = Peak output power (mW) G = Antenna numeric gain (numeric) d = Separation distance (cm) Numeric Gain = 10 ^ (G (dBi)/10) Because the EUT belongs to the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure the limit of power density is 1.0 mW/cm 2 The calculations in the table below use highest gain antennas for the client EUT. Where the antenna gain exceeds 6dBi the transmitter power is reduced where necessary to meet the EIRP requirements. These calculations represent worst case in terms of the exposure levels. Per FCC 1.1310 Power density Limit for device operating in frequency range 300 to 1500MHz = f/1500 (mW/cm 2 ) Freq.
