If this is not done, this product could fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on this product could sustain personal injury or death. Limited Warranty Grayling Inc. Manufactured parts and components, with the exceptions noted below, are warranted to the original purchaser against defects in workmanship and materials for two (2) years from the date of the original purchase of the new product. Grayling will, at its option, repair or replace the product. Damage resulting from misuse and / or abuse is not covered. This limited warranty does not apply to failures caused by alteration or repair not performed by Grayling Wireless Inc. or it’s Authorized Repair Centers. Warranties made by Grayling with respect to this product are voided if the product is not used according to the instructions in this manual Batteries are not covered under this warranty Grayling Wireless Inc. makes no other warranty, expressed or implied for its products. We encourage our customers to request a demonstration of this equipment prior to use, or for any additional information relative to use or repairs. 2 Warnings and Cautions Caution Do not disassemble or alter this unit in any way. This will void the intrinsic safety rating and may affect the intrinsic safety of the device. Always inspect ClearCalm for damage before use. If damage is found, immediately remove the device from service. Never use a damaged or non functioning communications system. Ensure the radio you are using with ClearCalm in rated intrinsically safe before entering a hazardous atmosphere. Failure to follow the above warnings can result in personal injury or death. Caution Evaluate this unit and any radio transceiver with which it may be used. Be certain the unit is not affected adversely by radio frequency energy. The performance of the ClearCalm systems radio interface feature will only function as well as the handheld portable radio performs. ClearCalm must be tested before entering a hazardous atmosphere. If the system fails to operate as designed, disconnect at the radio and use the radio independently from the communications system. Do not attempt any repairs beyond those specified in this manual; otherwise, serious injury or death could result. Only trained and certified personnel, authorized by Grayling, are permitted to maintain this ClearCalm system. Warning TO PREVENT IGNITION OF A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE, BATTERIES MUST BE CHANGED IN AN AREA KNOWN TO BE NONHAZARDOUS. Warning Do not attempt to charge Alkaline Batteries.

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum of 0 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. For United States: Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The product is CSA certified and UL listed to the following Intrinsically Safe standards: Canada: CAN/CSA C22.2 No.157-92; Intrinsically Safe and Non-incendive Equipment for Use in Hazardous Locations.

COMMUNICATION CERTIFICATION LABORATORY TEST REPORT: 73-8197 FCC ID: TOC-0001 Page 6 of 26 SECTION 3.0 TEST SPECIFICATION, METHODS & PROCEDURES 3.1 Test Specification: Title: FCC PART 15, Subpart C (47 CFR 15). Section 15.249 Operation within the bands 902 – 928 MHz, 2400 – 2483.5 MHz, 5725 – 5875 MHz, and 24.0 – 24.25 GHz Purpose of Test: The tests were performed to demonstrate initial compliance. 3.2 Methods & Procedures: 3.2.1 §15.224 (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the field strength of emissions from intentional radiators operated within these frequency bands shall comply with the following: Fundamental Frequency Field Strength of Fundamental (millivolts/meter) Field Strength of Harmonics (microvolts/meter) 902 – 928 MHz 50 500 2400 – 2483.5 MHz 50 500 5725 – 5875 MHz 50 500 24.0 – 24.25 GHz 250 2500 (b) Fixed, point-to-point operation as referred to in this paragraph shall be limited to systems employing a fixed transmitter transmitting to a fixed remote location. Point-to- multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and multiple co-located intentional radiators transmitting the same information are not allowed. Fixed, point-to-point operation is permitted in the 24.05-24.25 GHz band subject to the following conditions: (1) The field strength of emissions in this band shall not exceed 2500 millivolts/meter. (2) The frequency tolerance of the carrier signal shall be maintained within + 0.001% of the operating frequency over a temperature variation of –20 degrees to +50 degrees C at normal supply COMMUNICATION CERTIFICATION LABORATORY TEST REPORT: 73-8197 FCC ID: TOC-0001 Page 7 of 26 voltage, and for a variation in the primary supply voltage from 85% to 115% of the rated supply voltage at a temperature of 20 degrees C. For battery operated equipment, the equipment tests shall be performed using a new battery. (3) Antenna gain must be at least 33 dBi. Alternatively, the main lobe beamwidth must not exceed 3.5 degrees. The beamwidth limit shall apply to both the azimuth and elevation planes. At antenna gains over 33 dBi or beamwidths narrower than 3.5 degrees, power must be reduced to ensure that the field strength does not exceed 2500 millivolts/meter. (c) Field strength limits are specified at a distance of 3 meters. (d) Emissions radiated outside of the specified frequency bands, except for harmonics, shall be attenuated by at least 50 dB…
