You must have an ear piece or speakers with a 2.5mm ( 1 /10 ̋) plug. If you have an ear piece or speakers with different sized plug, use a 2.5mm adapter between the plug and the jack. Please note that we do not provide ear pieces, speakers, or 2.5mm adapters. The SENSORO TRAVELLER II/TRAVELLER II+ is designed to operate on two AA alkaline or lithium batteries. To ensure maximum performance, we advise that you should not use other battery types. You may use AA alkaline rechargeable batteries. However, the resulting battery life will vary. Do not leave the SENSORO TRAVELLER II/TRAVELLER II+ exposed to extreme heat like strong sunlight. It can damage the unit and battery. Battery installation 1. Remove the battery compartment door at the bottom of the unit when the unit is powered off. 2. Remove any old batteries (both batteries must be replaced at the same time.). 3. Press down two fresh AA alkaline or lithium batteries into place, observing the polarity indication inside the battery compartment. 4. Replace the battery compartment door. 5. Turn the unit on to verify correct battery installation. 6 Battery life The SENSORO TRAVELLER II/TRAVELLER II+ can provide approximately 50 hours of battery life from two AA alkaline batteries. Battery life is affected by many variables like the conditions and brand of battery, the ambient temperature, the number and strength of engaged signals, the duration of reported alerts, the user interface mode you select, etc. The approximate battery life we quote is based on our aging tests in a shielded laboratory. Your specific conditions and the way you use the SENSORO TRAVELLER II/TRAVELLER II+ will result in different battery life. The SENSORO TRAVELLER II/TRAVELLER II+ provides voice announcements when function…

PNI Corp. Engineering Group J Miller 8/28/2002 Doc 1000427 Rev R01 Description of FCC Labeling for Traveller Radar Detector For FCC Part 15 Order FCC02-211 compliance. PNI FCC file for FCC License QJ3-IFS-11414 Purpose This document describes the discrete models and marketing names used under the FCC license QJ3-IFS-11414. Additionally this document describes the placement of the FCC ID label and notifications placed on the product and in the user manuals. Procedure 08/28/2002 PNI Corp part number 11414 will use the marketing name Traveller. The FCC ID label will appear as shown in figure 1 below. Figure 2 shows the placement of the label on the bottom of the unit, while Figure 3 shows the FCC license information used in the manual on the first production run in September of 2002. The device in the Traveller + (plus) marketed package will have the exact same circuitry as the Traveller unit. The Traveller + contains extra user accessories external to the function of the device. The Traveller + is a future product and as such does not currently have a PNI Corp. part number.

The Traveller II will use the same FCC license as the basic Traveller unit. The Traveller II unit contains additional user interface components to give it a voice enunciation feature (referred to as the Voice Alert feature). It uses the exact same printed circuit board as the basic Traveller unit. In the basic Traveller unit these addition voice alert components are not installed. All required FCC testing were performed in using the Traveller II units. As of September 15 th 2002, FCC ID labels for all products in the Traveller product line will be labeled with the description “Traveller Series” marketing name. Details of this can be seen in figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 Label to be applied directly on product Figure 5 label used in user manual

Compliance with applicable standards was determined by comparing the measured results with respect to the limits specified in rulemaking FCC 02-211. Measurements were made at 1 meter distance, as allowed by 47CFR Section 15.31(f)(1). The limit for the 1 meter measurement was calculated using an inverse linear distance extrapolation faction (20 dB/decade), Limit 1 meter = Limit 3 meters + 20*LOG(3/1) or Limit 1 meter = Limit 3 meters + 9.5 dB The test procedure used was the following: 1)Determine the frequency of the peak emission: Start Frequency11.7 GHz Stop Frequency12.2 GHz RBWEqual to or greater than 1 MHz VBWEqual to or greater than 1 MHz Detector FunctionPeak Maximize the emissions with regards to device orientation, antenna polarization, and antenna height. Sweep the band using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. Record this frequency for measuring the peak emission. In addition record the frequency of other spurious emissions noted. 2)Determine the peak level of the emission: Center FrequencySet to the frequency determined in Step 1 RBWEqual to or greater than 1 MHz VBWEqual to or greater than 1 MHz Detector FunctionPeak GEL File PNI 01-2002 Glen Ellen Laboratories 4August 26, 2002 Measure the value of the peak emission using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. This can be done at zero span or a frequency span where the analyzer does not show a “Measurement Uncalibrated” message. Record the peak value. If the peak measurement is compliant with the average limit an average measurement is not necessary. If the peak value exceeds the average limit by less than 20 dB proceed to Step 3. 3)Determine the average level of the emission: Center FrequencySet to the frequency determined in Step 1 SpanZero RBWEqual to or greater than 1 MHz VBWEqual to or greater than 10 Hz Detector FunctionPeak This measurement uses video averaging and must be done in Linear mode. The analyzer Reference Level will have to be adjusted so that a signal is clearly visible on the screen. Measure the value of the emission using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. Record this as the average value. Step 2 and Step 3 was repeated for other spurious emissions within the band. GEL File PNI 01-2002 Glen Ellen Laboratories 5August 26, 2002 2.Description of Test Facility, including information on calibration as presented in Glen Ellen Laboratories FCC, CISPR and Bellcore test reports. The Glen Ellen Laboratories open field test site complies with the requirements specified by VDE 0876/9.78, VDE 0877 Part 1/11.81, VDE 0877 Part 2/2.85, CISPR 16, CISPR 22, and ANSI C63.4- 2001. The test site closely follows the theoretical normalized site attenuation specifications for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. The site has been fully described in a report dated September 30, 1999, submitted to the FCC, and accepted in a letter dated December 15, 1999 (Registration Number 90613.) The facility is located near the town of Glen Ellen, California, at the street address of 1876 London Ranch Road. The site is at approximately 175 meters altitude on the East side of Sonoma Mountain, at the coordinates of 38 degrees 22 minutes North Latitude and 122 degrees 32 minutes West Longitude. The site sits north of a ridge approximately 100 meters higher in elevation and 1000 meters to the South, which attenuates VHF and above frequencies from the San Francisco Bay area 60 kilometers to the South. The open field test site consists of a 10 by 20 meter area of galvanized hardware cloth placed on top of a flat asphalt surface located in an open meadow. All seams of adjacent widths of hardware cloth are soldered together. The metal turntable top surface is flush with the ground plane. All metal objects other than the groundscreen/flush turntable are located a considerable distance further than the standard 10-meter CISPR measurement ellipse.
