November 19, 2004 #EA805341 1. General Information 1.1. Product Description: The Johnson Controls Interiors HomeLink® HL3 Universal Garage Door Opener is a low- power transceiver OEM device that is installed into an overhead console of the automobile. The installation is provided by trained technicians during the course of the manufacture of the automobile. It is powered by the 12-Volt system of the automobile. This Universal Garage Door Opener has the capability to 1. Learn the frequency and bit code format of the user’s existing garage door remote control devices and 2.Reproduce and transmit the frequency and bit code format to remotely operate the user’s garage door. The unit is designed for the periodic operation of a control signal, which typically activates a garage door opener receiver. The unit is supplied to the automobile manufacturer without harness. For testing purposes a typical assembly and 2-conductor cable harness were used to power to the unit. The unit is only operational when the user depresses the control button. It becomes inactive after release of the control button. The three-button HomeLink® unit replaces up to three hand-held transmitters. In addition to the typical operation of the garage door, the unit will learn the radio frequency codes of other transmitter types to activate entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. The antenna system is an integral part of the unit. It cannot be altered nor replaced by the user. Service of this system is only available from the Automobile Manufacturer’s Dealerships and Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC. 1.2.

Test Methodology Radiated Emissions testing was done according to ANSI C63.4-2000. The power source for this product is a 12V automotive vehicle battery, thus conducted emissions measurements are not required. Most measurements were performed according to methodology outlined in communication with the FCC submitted as miscellaneous exhibit “vehicle_level.pdf”. In all cases the guidelines provided by ANSI C63.4-2000 were followed where possible. Exceptions are noted if present. Measurements were taken at 10m on the JCI OATS. For remaining tests a 2-conductor cable harness was used to supply power to the unit for tabletop measurements. Tabletop measurements were taken at 3m on the JCI OATS. 1.4. Test Facility The Open Area Test Site where these measurements were taken, is located on the grounds of Johnson Controls Automotive Interiors System’s Edgar D. Prince Technical Campus, in the city of Holland, county of Ottawa, state of Michigan, United States of America. The site is a fully enclosed 10m weather-protected OATS. All structure materials above the conducting ground-plane are non-metallic and consist of: wood, laminated lumber, fiberglass, glue, plastic, or fiberglass reinforced plastic. The site contains a 15-foot diameter turntable capable of supporting large cars and light trucks under test. Tabletop testing was conducted on a smaller 3m turntable described in the site recertification report. It has been fully described in a report filled with the FCC and Industry Canada.

Summary of Results • Measurements of the transmit output field strength were taken with the DUT trained to 288, 310, and 418 MHz at 30, 50 and 80% duty cycles. A worst-case average corrected emission of 69.76 dBuV/m occurred with the DUT trained to 310 MHz, 50% duty cycle. The worst-case emission remained slightly below the FCC limit (69.8 dBuV/m) for this type of device. • Measurements were taken at 340, 365, and 390 MHz in order to evaluate the effect of the changes made in those regions to the limits. A worst-case average emission of 66.6 dBuV/m was measured at 390 MHz presenting a margin of 2.2dB to the FCC limit. • The worst-case harmonic measurement of 54 dBuV/m was found at 836 MHz, the second harmonic of 288 MHz at 30% duty cycle. A margin of 0.3 dB to the prescribed FCC limit was noted. • This module exhibits pulsed operation characteristics. • Measurements were taken of the 20dB occupied bandwidth. The transmitter had a maximum occupied bandwidth of 489 kHz when the DUT is trained to 418 MHz, 80% duty cycle. • This device has no measurable Class B emissions. • The output power of the DUT varied by no more than 0.2dB when the input voltage was varied from 6 to 18 Volts. The device does not operate when the input voltage is below 8V. Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC. Page 4 of 23 FCC ID: CB2ACTLHL3

November 19, 2004 #EA805341 • The device was found to be incapable of operating in restricted bands. • The device deactivated immediately after the activation button is depressed; less than 5 sec. • The device uses coarse and fine pulses to tune the transmit antenna. At 418 MHz, 30% duty cycle the field strength of the pulses average 4908 uV/m over 100 msec. This represents a margin on 9.6 dB to the FCC limit. 7.2.

Formulas and Sample Calculations 7.5.1. Adjustment to account for duty cycle The spectrum analyzers used for making the measurements in this report automatically corrects for cable correction and antenna factors using values stored in memory taken from the most recent calibration (in the case of antenna factors) and periodic cable loss measurements. Formula 1: FS(dBuV/m) = M(dBuV) + AF(dB/m) + CF(dB) The presented field strength is computed by the spectrum analyzer by taking the measured level and adding to it the antenna factor and cable loss corrections. The measurement presented in gathered using the spectrum analyzer’s peak-hold capability. Formula 2: Average Level(dBuV/m) = Peak Level (dBuV/m) + duty cycle factor(dB). The peak measurement is adjusted to an average level by a duty cycle described below. The duty cycle factor to apply is determined for the duty cycles of 30%, 50%, and 80% as follows: For 30% (0.30): duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.3) = -10.46 For 50% (0.50): duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.5) = -6.02 For 80% (0.80): duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.8) = -1.94 Example calculation: With the EUT programmed with a 30% duty cycle a measurement of 74 dBuV/m is taken (about 5000 uV/m), the adjusted level would be: 74 + (-10.46) = 63.54 dBuV/m (example) 7.5.2. Calculation of FCC limits from 15.231. The prescribed limit in the range of 260 MHz to 470 MHz is stated as a linear interpolation between 3750 uV/m and 12500 uV/m. The equation used to calculate the limit using this criteria is: FCC limit = 41.67 * f – 7083.33 (Where ‘f’ is the measurement frequency in MHz.) The limit is dBuV/m is then: Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC. Page 21 of 23 FCC ID: CB2ACTLHL3

November 19, 2004 #EA805341 dB limit = 20 * log10( FCC limit uV/m) = 20*log10( 41.67*f – 7083.33) ( log10 is used to indicated the use of a base 10 logarithm) This results in the following limits for the fundamentals: 288MHz 20*log10(4917.6) = 73.8 dBuV/m 310MHz 20*log10(5834.4) = 75.3 dBuV/m 390MHz 20*log10(9168.0) = 79.2 dBuV/m 418MHz 20*log10(10334.7) = 80.3 dBuV/ NOTE: An adjustment of 10.45dB is used to adapt limits for 10m measurements. 8.
