The Vu Qube V10 is equipped with a FastFind remote enabling you to quickly position the Vu Qube antenna from inside your vehicle. The Vu Qube V10 is compatible with any service provider such as DIRECTV ®, DISH Network ® or Bell ExpressVu. This manual includes a: • Brief background on satellite television • Components overview • Installation diagrams and instructions • Operating Instructions Technical Support Phone: (866) 802-2228 Email: [email protected] Web: www.vuqube.com Background Satellites used for television signals are 22,300 miles (37,000 km) above the earth’s equator. The purpose of the Vu Qube is to acquire the signal traveling that great distance and transmit the signal to your digital receiver in your vehicle so you can watch TV anywhere you park. Satellite television, like other communications relayed by satellite, starts with a transmitting antenna located at an uplink facility on Earth. The uplink dish is pointed toward a specific satellite and the uplinked signals are transmitted. The signal transmitted to the satellite is within a specific frequency range and is received by one of the transponders tuned to that frequency range aboard that satellite. The transponder then transmits the signals back to Earth but at a different frequency band (to avoid interference with the uplink signal). The leg of the signal path from the satellite to the receiving Earth station, in this case the Vu Qube, is called the downlink. The downlinked satellite signal, quite weak after traveling the great distance is received by the Vu Qube antenna, which reflects the weak signal to a focal point that gets transferred to a feedhorn. The receiving antenna must have a clear view, without obstruction, of the southern sky to maximize signal acquired. This signal is then amplified and converted by the LNBf (Low-noise block converter feed) to a signal that is sent via a co-axial cable to the receiver. Once the signal is transmitted from the Vu Qube to your receiver, you can enjoy all of your programming in your vehicle just like at home! A Quick Reference guide is included with Operating Instructions & Elevation information that we suggest you keep with the Vu Qube Controller or near your Satellite TV receiver. The Satellite Broadcast Market is changing and expanding. The information in this manual was accurate at the time of printing. If the Vu Qube does not operate as shown in this manual, please call Wallace Technologies at 1-866-802-2228 or email us at [email protected] .

ATCB Comments: Regarding equipment labeling for Canada, the label must contain 3 items. The label should contain the applicant, Certification Number, and model number as certified and shown on the IC form. Currently the label does not show a complete certification number, model number as shown on the form, or the applicant. Please correct. RESPONSE: Revised label has been uploaded. 2. ATCB Comments: Being a device under 15.247 with RF exposure requirements, the users manual should generally instruct the user no to co-locate the device with other transmitters. RESPONSE: Revised manual has been uploaded. 3. ATCB Comments: Please provide calculations and information to show how final output power was measured and calculated. Was this radiated? Did it use the FCC required far field equations? RESPONSE: The output power and spurious emissions had to be made as a radiated measurement. Attempts to connect rf connector to the EUT rf output were unsuccessful. We used OET 63 formula P(eirp in watts) = 0.3 Esquared (field strength in v/m), using unity antenna gain in calculation, 3 meters distance. This has been put in both reports on output power page and revised reports have been uploaded. 4. ATCB Comments: A large difference is noted between peak and average readings. This suggests that the signals may have actually had a duty cycle associated with them. If so, the average should have actually been derived using worse case duty cycle calculations. Please review/explain/correct as necessary. RESPONSE: The average measurements are made using a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth and a 10 Hz video bandwidth per FCC guidelines. This has been put in both reports on Appendix C page. The mfr. instructed us the worst case mode was being tested. Since measured levels are compliant, and believed to be worst case, we did not pursue duty cycle calculations. 5. ATCB Comments: Cited output power given on the 731 form is about 9 dB below the operational description which cites output power is maximum of +4 dBm. Was device properly operating and/or configured at maximum output power? Was RBW > 6 dB bandwidth with VBW > RBW? FCC expects device to be at maximum output power. Please review/correct as necessary. RESPONSE: The level on the 731 was erroneously put on as the erp, eirp would be 700 microwatts, or -1 dBm. This would be close to typical value in operating description of 0 dBm. We can revise Form 731. Is this acceptable, or do we need Wallace to state that their product will not be putting out 4 dBm (maximum on chip spec). 6 dB bw = 542 kHz, rbw used to make peak measurement was 1 MHz.

ATCB Comments: It is uncertain if bandedge emissions for bandedge restricted bands has been provided. Please review/explain as necessary. RESPONSE: P. 22 of 38 demonstrates low channel is >-20dBc at 2400 MHz. I have edited P. 24 of 38 to demonstrate high channel measurement is below 15.209 limit at 2483.5 MHz. 7. ATCB Comments: It does not appear that RX emissions per RSS-210 and RSS-GEN have been provided. Please explain/review/correct. RESPONSE: Receiver is always on, is covered in spurious emission testing. The above referenced documents have been uploaded to the website at the same time as this response. Please let us know if anything further is required. Susan L Rupp, Technical Writer TÜV America Inc Tel: 651 638 4585 / Fax: 651 638 0298 [email protected]

Hi Tim OK, I think I have the label and the app matching - the model for the Vu Qube is VQV10 and the model for the Remote is VQV10R. This is the same on both label and RSP-100 for both application. Uploading now. I'll get the manual revised and reuploaded. The rest of your comments have been forwarded to Joel to answer. Thank you, Sue From: Timothy R. Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:38 PM To: Rupp, Susan Subject: RE: Wallace applications ATCB004406 & ATCB004405 status request Susan, 1) The model on the IC for and the device still does not match. Please confirm how we are listing this device and ensure the labels match. 2) the manual co-location statement should identify that the non-colocation is to meet the FCC's RF exposure requirements, or must be stated in a firm manner such as "this device must not be co-located with other transmitters to ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requireements", etc. 3) Regarding the response regarding average measurements to previous comment 4, the concern is that the 10 Hz method is only valid on signals that are CW in nature, or at least that the Ton time is > 1/VBW. Yes the device should be tested for worse case mode, but the validity of the measurement depends on the behavior of the carrier and the settings used during the test. If the device was pulsed, a 10 Hz method is likely not acceptable. Further information is necessary to ensure compliance. Note the previous comment was ATCB Comments: A large difference is noted between peak and average readings. This suggests that the signals may have actually had a duty cycle associated with them. If so, the average should have actually been derived using worse case duty cycle calculations. Please review/explain/correct as necessary. 4) Regarding previous issue 5, we need confirmation that device tested was a maximum expected output power. 5) If applicable from response to issue 5, please correct 731. 6) Please ensure final output power result is in the report. It appears that only a margin and field strengths are shown. 7) Output power still appears to show 31.5 dB margin, which does not match data on pages 17-18 as cites. Please review.

I am sending this via email, hoping it will go out overnight when it may come back up. See attached. Thanks, Tim Susan, I've completed about 1/2 the first review today....So far the only concern is: 1) Regarding equipment labeling for Canada, the label must contain 3 items. The label should contain the applicant, Certification Number, and model number as certified and shown on the IC form. Currently the label does not show a complete certification number, model number as shown on the form, or the applicant. Please correct.
