FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP SECTION 8 USER'S MANUAL FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP Pegasus Technologies, Inc. PTSS2003LP Transceiver Users Manual (Preliminary) RF Transceiver Installation Instructions The PTSS2003LP Transceiver Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum transceiver. This transceiver should only be installed by qualified service personnel. The transceiver detects level, low battery or other data signals from the external binary inputs and broadcasts that data to the system's host receiver. MOUNTING LOCATION The PTSS2003LP Transceiver is a module as defined by the FCC and therefore must be mounted to another host device in order to function. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The integrator must position this device in any end product such that the antenna to user/bystander distance is greater than 20 cm when the transmitter is functioning (excluding hands, wrists, feet and ankles). 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example applications where the antenna to user distance is < 20 cm or to be co-located with another transmitter), then the original FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. NOTICE TO CUSTOMER Any Pegasus Technologies customer incorporating the PTSS2003LP transceiver module into its own product must have an external notice affixed to its product. This notice must be placed in a conspicuous location and can use wording such as: “Contains FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP” or “Contains Transceiver Module FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP”. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. NOTE: The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or install the device. RF Exposure Manual Information That Must be Included to End User The users manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location "IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter." FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Supply the transceiver with DC power by inserting a 3.6 Volt battery into the battery holder on the customers host application circuit board. 2. The unit will come pre-programmed with a Network ID and Hop Seed. However, the customer does have the option of field programming the unit. 3. If possible, avoid installing the PTSS2003LP in areas near large metallic objects such as air conditioners, heaters, screens and heaters. CAUTION: This device is required to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile and fixed transmitting devices. The FCC requires that the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation of at least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons (not including hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. FCC NOTICE The Model PTSS2003LP transceiver generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. The transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules for Spread Spectrum Intentional Radiators and FCC Part 15 Subpart C, Specifications. If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception - which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off - the installer is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient the antenna of the radio/television. 2) Connect the AC transformer to a different outlet so the control panel and radio/television are on different branch circuits. 3) Relocate the control panel with respect to the radio/television. If necessary, the installer should consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions, or send for the "Interference Handbook" prepared by the Federal Communications Commission. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402, stock number 004-000-00450-7.

Friday, March 19, 2004 Mr. Bill Graff ATCB 6731 Whittier Ave McLean, VA 22101 Bill, Below is the response to your letter sent March 2, 2004 for Pegasus Technologies. FCC ID: QLBPTSS2003LP I have a few comments on this Application. 1.) No Form 731 has been uploaded with this filing. The only document uploaded to the Form 731 folder at our website is a copy of the Test Report. Please provide a correct Form 731. Form 731 has been re-uploaded to the Web Site. 2.) The detail presented of the emission during the zero-span timing plots appears to show five discrete bursts. Please explain how this meets the definition of a pseudo-random hop sequence. The original plot provided was repeated with adjustment to the software control as specified by the manufacturer for a pseudo random hop sequence.. The original data was provided after a 15 second sweep, with the max hold function. The plot provided now has a 10 second sweep, with the same max hold condition. 3.) Please identify the IF bandwidth of the receiver. This is to insure that receivers associated with frequency hopping radios track with the hop sequence of the transmitter. The IF bandwidth is set by the transceiver IC (XE1202). This is a low IF or 0 IF receiver, whose bandwidth is 200 KHz. 4.) Photos must always be separated into inside views and outside views. This is an FCC requirement and is necessary even if we are looking at a modular approval. Please review your photos and segregate into a complete assembly version (for the outside view), and a disassembled version (for the inside view). Please upload to the ATCB website. Photos have been uploaded to the ATCB website, in the order you designated. 5.) Another FCC requirement is that the Test Setup Photos must be provided as a separate exhibit. Please provide. Test Setup Photos have been uploaded as you designated. 6.) Please show the calibration dates for the instrumentation listed in the Test Report. Calibration dates have been uploaded as part of the revised report. 7.) Section 2.6 of the Test Report. The circuit board is described as using an HLF connector yet the antenna is listed as incorporating a reverse SMA. Please clarify. The module has an HLF connector, but the pigtail is terminated in a test board that has a reverse SMA connector. The final configuration will provide a pigtail connector terminating in HLF for the module and reverse SMA for the antenna. 8.) The peak power listed in the Test Report (about 16mW) does not match the RF Exposure exhibit (232mW). Please review. This was a report error. A corrected report has been uploaded. 9.) According to current FCC requirements, it is not appropriate to calculate an MPE distance for the RF Exposure Exhibit. The Commission instead wants MPE estimations to show the appropriate field density at 20cm. Please review. Due to the report correction, RF exposure limits no longer apply to this unit. I hope this satisfies this information request. 10.) Please review table 4a. 4b and 4c. Why are the second harmonic emissions at approximately 1800MHz for all three tables shown in terms of dBd? This is a field strength measurement at three meters. If these are actually in terms of dBc instead, it is appropriate to include a field strength reading of the carrier. This data was presented following a format previously accepted under another submittal. It has been revised in the table to show compliance with restricted band frequencies. Even though these frequencies are not in a restricted band, they meet restricted band requirements. 11.) How were the average limits calculated in table 5a, 5b, and 5c for the second harmonic reading? Incorrectly. We have updated the tables accordingly. 12.) Please expand on the manufacturer supplied data for average time of occupancy per channel during 10 seconds. Provide a detailed calculation if necessary. Again, this was from a previous template, which required the manufacturer to take the data, since he was unable to provide a means to have us take it. The statement and previous data was inadvertently left on. We have corrected the table to provide the correct value for average time of occupancy. Thank you for your patience in awaiting this response, and please do not hesitate to contact me for any further clarification. Sincerely, Louis A. Feudi Operations Manager Acting Engineering Manager
