Deleted: 0 PRELIMINARY COPY Page 2 of 19 P/N 02-81011 v 2.2 FCC Compliance Regulatory Statements These FCC statements apply to SIDELINE RECEIVER and MxENCODER: Compliance Statement ( Part 15.19 ) The SIDELINE RECEIVER and MxENCODER devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. These devices may not cause harmful interference, and 2. These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning ( Part 15.21 ) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. SIDELINE RECEIVER RF Exposure ( OET Bulletin 65 ) To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) 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. MxENCODER This device and its antenna has shown compliance with FCC’s SAR limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure for a portable device. The maximum listed SAR level is 1.27 W/kg (head). The antenna used for this device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Industry Canada Statement The term “IC” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. SIDELINE RECEIVER Section 5.5 of RSS-210 This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 5 dBi using an omni directional antenna. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Section 5.11 of RSS-210 To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. MxENCODER Section 14 of RSS-210 The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb .

Deleted: 0 PRELIMINARY COPY Page 4 of 19 P/N 02-81011 v 2.2 INTRODUCTION Trainers, coaches and officials of contact sports have long sought to protect players from head injury. But, in hard-hitting sports like football, what can be done? The best equipment, coaching and enforcement of the rules cannot completely protect against mild brain trauma and concussion. Potential injury-producing impacts can go unnoticed and the resulting physiological damage may even be cumulative. Groundbreaking technology developed by Simbex and supported by the National Institutes of Health could change all that. The system is called the Head Impact Telemetry System™ (HIT System™) and is the first device to continuously monitor, analyze and record a player’s on-field head impact experience, and which is practical enough to be used in all game and practice situations. The HIT System not only monitors and records the impact history for all players simultaneously, but also can signal the sidelines staff to the occurrence of an impact that conforms to a Suspect Impact Profile™. The system monitors standard impact measures, such as maximum g’s, Head Impact Criteria (HIC), and Gadd Severity Index (GSI), or customized metrics based on any of the following components: • Impact location • Impact magnitude • Impact duration • Linear and angular acceleration components • And the exact times, of single or multiple impacts for improved player protection from serious injury. About Simbex – “Simply Better Exercise ” The Head Impact Telemetry System has been developed and patented by Simbex. Simbex has been researching, testing and creating products that benefit active people since its inception. Simbex is a research and product development company, specializing in biomechanical feedback systems, with research awards from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Our goal is to bring to market Deleted: 0 PRELIMINARY COPY Page 5 of 19 P/N 02-81011 v 2.2 the most innovative products and timely solutions for “active life improvement” in the areas of prosthetics, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. It is our sincere hope that Simbex, our research / development partners and this technology will combine to make contact sports safer for all players. For more information, please visit us on the web @ www.simbex.com . The Basics Please read this User’s Guide completely before set-up and use of the HIT System. If you need assistance with your first use of the system, please call Simbex Technical Support at the number listed in the CONTACT INFORMATION section. The HIT System™ is comprised of four main systems: the MXEncoders, the Sideline Receiver, the Alert Pager, and the Computer.

Response to TCB Findings 1. The schematic diagram of the transmitter module is required. The supplied schematic shows the transmitter as a block without details of it. Detailed schematic supplied. 2. The manual on Pg 2 mentions an 8dBi patch antenna for the device. If that applies to FCC certification, then test data for this antenna is required. Otherwise this antenna must be removed from the manual entirely. Manual corrected

Introduction Between March 7 th and March 28 th , 2005, a series of Conducted and Radiated RF Emission tests were performed on one sample of the Simbex, LLC, Model Number Sideline Receiver (Note 1), , Serial Number 15-000313, here forth referred to as the “Equipment Under Test” or “EUT”. These tests were performed using the procedures outlined in ANSI C63.4-2003 for intentional radiators, and in accordance with the limits set forth in FCC Part 15.247 (Industry Canada RSS- 210) for a low power transmitter. These tests were performed by Abtin Spantman, EMC Engineer at L.S. Compliance, Incorporated. All Radiated and Conducted RF Emission tests were performed upon the EUT to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described in Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 15, including 15.35, 15.205, 15.247 and Industry Canada RSS-210 to determine whether these emissions are below the limits expressed within the standards. These tests were performed in accordance with the procedures described in the American National Standard for methods of measurement of Radio- Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (ANSI C63.4-2003). Another document used as a reference for the EMI Receiver specification was the Comite International Special Des Perturbations Radioelelectriques (CISPR) Number 16-1, 2003. All tests were performed at L.S. Compliance, Inc., in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, unless otherwise noted. Note 1: Although the unit has a model name and number listed as: “Sideline Receiver”, the unit actually contains a transceiver, of which the transmitter characteristics were tested and the results are presented in this report.
