Berlin Norbert Kaspar Kto. Nr. 3105165974 ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS DR.GENZ GMBH RF Exposure Calculation Applicant: FALCOM GmbH FCC ID: QIXSTEPPIII The internal antenna used for this mobile transmitter must provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. A safety statement concerning minimum separation distances from enclosure of the STEPPIII will be integrated in the user’s manual to provide end-users with transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. The appropriate Max conducted power can be drawn from the test report no. G0M20704- 1336-P-2224. For transmitter operating in the 824-849 MHz range, paragraph 1.1310 Table 1 limits maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to 0.549 mW/cm² for uncontrolled environments and 2.75 mW/cm² for controlled environments. For transmitter operating in the 1850-1910 MHz range, paragraph 1.1310 Table 1 limits maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to 1 mW/cm² for uncontrolled environments and 5 mW/cm² for controlled environments. The far field on-axis power flux density (W/m²) is calculated using the following formula: S = Power density (mW/cm²) ERP = effective radiated power (mW) EIRP = isotropically radiated power (mW) r = Distance in cm Calculations ___________________________________________________________________________________ ETS Handelsregister: Bankverbindung: Electronic Technology Systems Dr. Genz GmbH Amtsgericht Frankfurt/Oder HRB 5151 Sparkasse Oder-Spree Storkower Strasse 38c Geschäftsführung: Dr. Dietmar Genz BLZ 170 550 50 D-15526 Reichenwalde b.

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 ETS PRODUCT SERVICE AG. Tester: 14.06.2007 M. Schlaps Date ETS-Lab.
