This will provide better radio performance at the expense of a lower effective over-the-air bit rate. 8B/10B line coding is a method that encodes a symbol of 8 bits in to a 10 bit symbol and ensures that on average there is an even number over 1’s and 0’s and a minimum number of transitions. The effective bit rate becomes 8/10s of the radio bit rate so it will be 800kbps rather than 1Mbps. 4 Regulatory Specifications FCC Part 15 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Radio Frequency Notifications FCC Notifications RF Radiation: The Product is an intentional radiator of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. In order to limit RF exposure to personnel in the immediate area, the Product should be located and installed such that a separation of at least 20 centimeters is maintained between the Product’s antenna and personnel in the vicinity of the device. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Modification warning: Caution - changes or modification…

(CTI) products. It is also marketed to external Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to be used in their own host equipment. It is only installed into the final CTI product at the place of manufacture. Instructions will be provided to OEMs so that the product can be professionally installed into their host equipment. Modular Approval Requirement Yes No (i) The radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. x (ii) 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. x (iii) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. x (iv) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of §§ 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a ‘‘unique’’ antenna coupler (at all connections between the x P:\2014\City Theatrical\Ferengi FW\Docs\PDE Docs\Regulatory Certification\Docs for Submission\Administrative Docs\Modular Approval Letters\5792_FCC_Modular Approval Letter .docx module and the antenna, including the cable). The ‘‘professional installation’’ provision of § 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph (b) of this section. (v) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand- alone configuration x (vi) The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number. x (vii) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rules or operating requirements that ordinarily apply to a complete 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. x (viii) The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. x Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions or need any further information.
