Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground. Operating the APEX 1900-24 with antennas in very close proximity facing each other can lead to severe damage to the repeater. RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user and the external antenna of the repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate inside the building.

The manufacturer whose product is working in this frequency band is obligatory to prove the harmfulness of his product. In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC), and the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, Page 1 of 4 The antenna of the product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement for keeping 20cm separation distance and the prohibition of operating next to a person has been printed on the user's manual. So, this product is classified as the Mobile Device. According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency(RF) radiation as specified in 1 1307(b) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) - Class A Frequency Range (MHz) 1500 - 100,000 614 - Electric Field Strength (V/m) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) - Class B - Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) 0.3 - 1.34 300 - 1500 1.34 - 30 30 - 300 824/f 27.5 4. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : P d = (P out *G) / (4*π*r 2 ) The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is 12dBi or 15.85 (numeric). P out = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 MODE: CDMA Page 2 of 4 The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit with max power at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. Pd is the limit of MPE, 1mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r where the MPE limit is reached. 6.

The EUT was placed on a wooden turn table 3 meters from the receive antenna. The receive antenna height and turn table rotation was adjusted for the highest reading on the receive spectrum analyzer. For CDMA signals, a peak detector is used, with RBW = VBW = 3MHz. For AMPS, GSM, and NADC TDMA signals, a peak detector is used, with RBW = VBW = 1MHz, A Horn antenna was substituted in place of the EUT. This Horn antenna was driven by a signal generator and the level of the signal generator was adjusted to obtain the same receive spectrum analyzer reading. This spurious level is recorded. For reading 1GHz, the above procedure is repeated using horn antennas and the difference between the gain of the horn and an isotropic or dipole antenna are taken into consideration. 2.
