GENERAL 1.1 Introduction The rescueME range of products provides the user with the latest technology specifically designed for compact size and ease of operation. 1.2 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy This product also complies with EN62479 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada). This product has been evaluated for compliance with the FCC RF exposure limits given in CFR 47 part 1.307(b) at a distance of greater than 2cms. 1.3 Warnings An AIS-MOB Man OverBoard device is only intended for short range signalling to an AIS receiver installed onboard your own vessel. It will not directly alert the emergency services or other vessels. This equipment is not intended for routine tracking of persons or property. This includes routine tracking of divers. If self-test is performed more frequently than once a month, then battery life may be reduced. This radio device is designed to only provide an effective alerting and locating capability in close proximity to a vessel. This radio beacon is NOT an EPIRB. Cette radiobalise est conçue uniquement dans le but de fournir une fonction d’alerte et de localisation efficace à proximité immédiate d’un navire. Cette radiobalise n’est PAS une RLS.

Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields This document demonstrates that the Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 Maritime Survivor Location Device is in compliance with US requirements for protection of the general public (uncontrolled) from exposure to electromagnetic fields. In the US regulation 47CFR chapter 1.1310 1 specifies that in the bands 30 – 300MHz the exposure limit is 0.2mW/cm 2 ; From Test Report TA0004 2 the measured EIRP at 156.525MHz is stated as 0.48mW. Duty Cycle= 0.5/300=0.0016 ∴Average power = 0.8mW Distance at which the power density meets the 0.2mW/cm 2 limit is given by: r = √(0.8/(4 x π x 0.2)) r = 0.6cms (=0.2inches) From Test Report TA0004 3 the measured EIRP at 161.975/162.025MHz is stated as 1580mW, with a duty cycle of (26ms*8)/(60000ms) = 0.00003. Distance at which the power density meets the 0.2mW/cm 2 limit is given by r = √(0.05/(4 x π x 0.2)) r = 0.14cms (= 0.1inches) According to the procedure in KDB447498 (v05r02) section 4.3, SAR testing is excluded if the following criteria is met. (P/d)* √f ≤3.0 for 1-g SAR Where P is the time averaged maximum conducted power in mW d minimum separation distance in mm f is the frequency in GHz 1 1.1310 Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits 2 Tested by Ocean Signal Ltd. 3 Tested by Ocean Signal Ltd Power and distance are rounded values. For d = 20mm, f = 162MHz and P = 0.85mW (0.8 +0.05) (0.85/20)* √0.162 = 0.017 Which is much less the value of 3 specified for exemption to 1-g SAR evaluation. Therefore the rescueME MOB1 meets the requirements for exposure to radiated electromagnetic fields at a worst case distance of 6.8cms from the transmitting antenna in both the USA and Europe.
