Channels are spaced at 200 kHz intervals. The maximum dwell time on any channel is 0.4s. All channels are used once during the complete hop sequence. The hopping is controlled entirely by the firmware in the reader. Yours faithfully Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd David Corder

The differences are that the 1153-US-BT-UHF-IMG contains a 2D barcode reader engine whereas the 1153- US-BT-UHF-A1 does not. There are no component changes apart from the removal of the 2D barcode reader engine in the –A1 version. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Radio Test Report: TRA-022433WUS1 As per KDB 447498 47 CFR §§1.1307 and 2.1091 2.1091 Radio frequency radiation exposure evaluation: Portable devices. For purposes of these requirements mobile devices are defined by the FCC as transmitters designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimetres is normally maintained between radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. These devices are normally evaluated for exposure potential with relation to the MPE limits. As the 20cm separation specified under FCC rules may not be achievable under normal operation of the EUT, an RF exposure calculation is needed to show the minimum distance required to be less than 0.6mW/cm 2 power density limit, as required under FCC rules Prediction of MPE limit at a given distance Equation from KDB 447498 D01 where: S = power density R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna ERP = EUT Maximum power Result: Prediction Frequency (MHz) Maximum ERP (mW) Power density limit (S) (mW/cm 2 ) Distance (R) cm required to be less than 0.6mW/cm 2 (cm) 917.1159.270.65.9 S S 4 64.1 arranged-re 4 64.1 2 S ERP R R ERP S 75
