The CrossCheck GSM/GPRS 850/1900 radio is a regular GSM product exclusively esigned for mainly mobile applications (Please refer to CrossCheck GSM/GPRS 850/1900 data sheet) for Asset management applications like fleet management etc. Included in the users manual (page 86) are definitions for fixed and mobile applications and limitations of the antenna gain as appropriate for each application to ensure that the end user have been provided with the right information to permit them to avoid exceeding RF exposure guidelines as provided in the Commission’s rule. This information includes the following: A minimum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna and the person for this device to satisfy the RF exposure requirements of the FCC. For fixed mount operation, the antenna co-location requirements of Section 1.1307 (b) (3) of the FCC rules must be satisfied. RF Human Exposure Analysis as per 47CFR § 1.1310 For transmitter operating in the 824-890 Mhz range, paragraph 1.1310 Table 1 limits maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to f/1500 mW/cm² for uncontrolled environments and f/300 mW/cm² for controlled environments. For transmitter operating in the 1850-1990 Mhz range, paragraph 1.1310 Table 1 limits maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to 1.0 mW/cm² for uncontrolled environments and 5.0 mW/cm² for controlled environments. The far field on-axis power flux density (W/m²) is calculated using the following formula: S = G P T / 4 π r² S = Power density (mW/cm²) P = Transmitted power in mW r = Distance in cm Calculations Cellular Band 824-890 MHz – Limit 0.549 / 2.746 Max conducted average power = Max conducted peak power * Duty Cycle = 1862 mW *(1:8.3) = 215mW Maximum average ERP = 215mW * 2.0 = 430 mW S = 430mW*1,64 / (4 · π · 20²) = 0,140 mW/cm² < 0.549 mW/cm² PCS Band 1850-1990 MHz - Limit 1.0 / 5.0 Max conducted average power = Max conducted peak power * Duty Cycle = 925 mW *(1:8.3) = 128mW Maximum average EIRP = 128mW * 2.0 = 256 mW S = 256 / (4 · π · 20²) = 0,051 mW/cm² < 1.0 mW/cm²

The complexity of the technical specifications, however, means that full and thorough testing is impractical for both technical and economic reasons. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a test sample which has passed all the relevant tests conforms to a specification. Neither is there any guarantee that such a test sample will interwork with other genuinely open systems. The existence of the tests nevertheless provides the confidence that the test sample possesses the qualities as maintained and that is performance generally conforms to representative cases of communications equipment. The test results of this test report relate exclusively to the item tested as specified in 1.5. The test report may only be reproduced or published in full. Reproduction or publication of extracts from the report requires the prior written approval of the ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS DR. GENZ GMBH. Tester: 05.10.2004 N. Kaspar Date ETS-Lab.
