CAUTION Inserting the batteries into the unit in the wrong orientation may cause the batteries to overheat or explode. Care should be taken to insert the batteries correctly. Failure to follow the appropriate procedure may cause damage to the equipment. CAUTION The battery compartment is not internally watertight, thus care should be exercised when the battery door is open to ensure liquids do not enter the compartment where it is possible for them to leak into the internal electronics. Failure to follow this caution may cause damage to the equipment. CAUTION It is essential that the operator remain as still as possible when performing scanning operations in order to achieve the best overall detection performance. Failure to follow this caution could result in false alarms and degraded detection performance. SAFETY SUMMARY WARNINGS When the degraded breather detection indicator is illuminated on the display, only large body movements will be detected. Small body movements such as respirations may not be detected. This should be taken into account when making mission oriented operational decisions. Failure to follow this warning could result in death or injury. To avoid possible wall blockage scenarios, an operator must observe the building material to avoid scanning through metal or absorptive material. The building material should be taken into account when making mission oriented operational decisions. Failure to follow this warning could result in death or injury. The RANGE-R™ system’s best detection performance occurs directly in front of the unit and extends out ±80 degrees in a conical pattern. Outside of this area the detection performance rapidly degrades. This should be taken into account when making mission oriented operational decisions. When possible, the operator should perform scans at different locations along the wall surface to maximize coverage of the target area. Failure to follow this warning could result in death or injury. There is a region above the display marked “Sensor Area – Do Not Block.” This region should not be covered by the operator’s hand. This region houses an antenna used to sense and reject nuisance detections that may arise from operator-side motion. Failure to do so could result in false alarms and degraded detection performance. ii SAFETY SUMMARY WARNINGS Inserting the batteries into the unit in the wrong orientation may cause the batteries to overheat or explode. Care should be taken to insert the batteries correctly. Failure to follow the appropriate procedure may cause damage to the equipment. The battery compartment is not internally watertight, thus care should be exercised when the battery door is open to ensure liquids do not enter the compartment where it is possible for them to leak into the internal electronics. Failure to follow this caution may cause damage to the equipment. If the RANGE-R™ system is placed in the case with a side facing up, the scan buttons may be pressed when the case is closed, causing the unit to transmit. This will drain the batteries and may cause the system to overheat. This may possibly damage the device. This RANGE-R Handheld Through Wall Radar is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and may not be exported without proper authorization by the U.S. Department of State. iii FCC COMPLIANCE WARNING Do not open the unit. There are no user serviceable parts contained within the unit, and opening or tampering with it will void the FCC certification and the manufacturer’s warranty. This device is approved for use by the FCC under FCC Order DA 09-2482, FCC ID YKD-25TWD3000. Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by L-3 CyTerra could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. “This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

Federal Communications CommissionDA 09-2482 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of L-3 CYTERRA Request for Waiver to Allow Certification and Use of Electromagnetic Motion Detection and Ranging Devices Operating at 3100-3500 MHz ) ) ) ) ) ) ) WP Docket No. 09-2 ORDER Adopted: November 24, 2009Released: November 25, 2009 By the Deputy Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and Deputy Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1.We have before us a request filed by L-3 CyTerra (CyTerra), a division of L-3 Communications Corporation, for waiver of Part 90 of the Commission's Rules 1 with respect to its Electromagnetic Motion Detection and Ranging (EMMDAR) sensor, a handheld radar device operating in the 3100-3500 MHz band that is capable of sensing motion through walls. 2 Awaiver is required because the EMMDAR’s frequency usage is inconsistent with the Commission’s technical rules. 3 CyTerra seeks a waiver to permit equipment certification of the EMMDAR, and its use by state and local public safety agencies. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau sought comment on the waiver request, and no party opposed it. 4 We grant the waiver request to the extent indicated below. II. BACKGROUND 2.The EMMDAR is a compact, lightweight handheld sensing device able to “see through walls.” 5 The device can detect both fast movement, such as a person walking or running, and very small 1 47 C.F.R. Part 90. 2 SeeL-3 CyTerra, Request for Waiver, filed February 22, 2008 (Waiver Request). 3 CyTerra requests a waiver with respect to two versions of thedevice, EMMDAR and EMMDAR II. The EMMDAR and EMMDAR II have identical transmission characteristics, but differ in their circuitry and user interfaces: the EMMDAR locates one target at a time, and indicates its range but not its direction; the EMDDAR II locates multiple targets, and indicates their ranges and directions. See Waiver Request at 5 n.3. Unless otherwise specified, references herein to the EMMDAR encompass both versions. 4 See Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Seeks Comment on Request for Waiver by L-3 CyTerra to Allow Certification and Use of Electromagnetic Motion Detection and Ranging (EMMDAR) Devices Operating at 3100- 3500 MHz, Public Notice, 24 FCC Rcd 77 (WTB/PSHSB 2009). No comments were filed. CyTerra filed reply comments. After the filing deadline, letters of support were received from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and the Jacksonville Beach Police Department, SWAT Team 1. 5 Waiver Requestat 1, 5. Federal Communications CommissionDA 09-2482 2 movement, such as the breathing of a restrained or unconscious victim or the slight sway of a person trying to stand still. 6 Possible applications include locating hostile persons or hostages prior to a forced entry, locating unconscious or captive persons, and scanning walls and large vehicles to locate missing or escaped prisoners. 7 The EMMDAR can accurately locate moving targets in one second, and immobile (breathing) targets in less than three seconds. 8 While users may activate the device for longer than that in order to increase their confidence in the result, the device cannot be locked on, and automatically shuts off after one minute. 9 CyTerra asserts that EMMDAR will be operated infrequently, for short periods, and rarely (if ever) at the same place twice. 10 3.The 3100-3500 MHz band is allocated to the Federal Government Radiolocation service on a primary basis, and to non-Federal radiolocation on a secondary basis. 11 In addition, the 3100-3300 MHz band is allocated to Federal and non-Federal Earth exploration-satellite and space research on a secondary basis; and the 3300-3500 MHz band is allocated to the amateur service on a secondary basis. 12 4.While the 3100-3500 MHz band is allocated for radiolocation, CyTerra requests a waiver because the EMMDAR does not operate like a normal radar device. Specifically, rather than operating on a single frequency like most radars, the EMMDAR steps through two hundred frequencies, spaced two megahertz apart from 3101 MHz to 3499 MHz, one at a time. 13 Ittransmits on one frequency for 75 microseconds with a peak instantaneous power of 31.6 milliwatts, followed by a 17.5-microsecond “off time” between frequency steps. 14 The complete cycle repeats every 18.5 milliseconds, resulting in a duty cycle for each frequency of 0.41%. 15 5.CyTerra states that increasing the number and spacing of frequency steps greatly improves the reliability and precision of target location. 16 Itstates that the need for multiple, well-spaced frequencies precludes unlicensed operation in the Part 15 902-928 MHz or 2.4 GHz bands because there are not enough frequencies in those bands, and that the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is unworkable due to insufficient propagation and building penetration. 17 6.CyTerra proposes several conditions on the waiver to minimize potential interference. 6 Id.at 5. 7 Id.at 2, 5-6. CyTerra asserts that the EMMDAR’s capabilities will greatly increase the probabilities for survival of hostages, victims, and rescuers.
