These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connect…

Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear sirs, Nomadio, Inc. is seeking FCC authorization of our Sensor Transceiver as a part 15 unlicensed modular transmitter approval. The requirements of the FCC public notice DA 00-1407 are met. The Transceiver meets all of the requirements for modular approval: 1.The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The module satisfies the RF shielding requirement. All internal RF circuitry is fully enclosed within an RF shield permanently attached to the internal circuit's laminate. See internal photos. 2.The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The module interface consists of an IC whose data inputs are buffered within the package. See Exhibit 4, schematic diagram. This interface prevents excessive data rates or over- modulation. 3.The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. The module contains its own voltage supply regulation. Changes in the supply voltage (for example caused by temperature changes or other effects) do not affect the internal operating voltage. See schematic diagram, Exhibit 4. 4.The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. The transceiver uses a permanent antenna, and is thus not user-replaceable. This ensures that end users use the same antenna used in compliance testing. See external photos. 5.The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). The transceiver was tested in a standalone configuration. Since the unit cannot be powered using AC power, testing was accomplished using a standard battery holder with leads of over 10 centimeters and 4 standard AA batteries. No other equipment was connected to the module during compliance testing. See photos of test configuration in FCC test report Exhibit. 6.The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The transceiver is labeled with it’s own FCC ID number. See attached Exhibit with label example. 7.The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The transceiver has been tested to comply with Section 15.247. No user configuration is required. 8.The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Expos…

1 Marie Confroy Subject: RE: Unable to Send Mail Record Hello! To whom it may concern: Originally the Peak Output Power was determined without adding in the cable loss. The test report had been revised and the Peak Output Power, including the cable loss equaled 18.17 dBm (0.06577 watts). I believe that since this change was implemented, the technical reviewer's check sheet, for use when uploading an application, was not updated as it should have been. I apologize for this oversight during my filing. I have checked with the testing engineer, and the values listed in the test report is correct. I have since revised the Grant of Authorization manually and have submitted the revised Grant to the customer. Thank you very much for catching my error. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any lingering questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. Thank you very much for your assistance and cooperation regarding this matter. They are both greatly appreciated. Have a beautiful day! Cheers!
