November 28, 2005 1. General Information 1.1. Product Description: The Johnson Controls Interiors HomeLink® HL3 Universal Garage Door Opener is a low- power transceiver OEM device available as an aftermarket accessory intended for fitment in automobiles and motorcycles. It is powered by two 12V batteries, size 23A. 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. Because this unit is intended for use with batteries only, no harness was used during testing. 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. Related Grants None. 1.3. Test Methodology Radiated Emissions testing was done according to ANSI C63.4-2003. The power source for this product is two (23A) 12V batteries included with the device, thus conducted emissions measurements are not required. Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC.

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) Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC.

November 28, 2005 7.5.2. Calculation of FCC limits from 15.231 and RSS-210. 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/IC limit = 41.67 * f – 7083.33 (Where ‘f’ is the measurement frequency in MHz.) The limit is dBuV/m is then: 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/m 8.

Theory of Operation Stand Alone HomeLink® Module Description of Operation The HomeLink® transmitter is a radio frequency transceiver device whose primary function is to determine both frequency and bit code format of typical garage door remote control devices and identically re-transmit them to the original garage door opener receiver. The on-board microcontroller maintains the operational frequency band as 288MHz to 420MHz, excluding forbidden bands of 303.5 to 305.5MHz, 322 to 335.4MHz and 399.9 to 410 MHz by at least 1 MHz spacing. The “training” operation is performed by scanning the legal frequencies with a single conversion superheterodyne receiver, looking for valid garage door opener bit code formats. After the training sequence, the frequency, bit code and attenuator setting is stored in non-volatile memory (NVM). The IF of the superheterodyne receiver section is 10.7MHz. On subsequent power ups, the NVM data is recalled. The VCO is set on the desired RF carrier frequency. The antenna is coarse tuned by sweeping twice around the expected tuning point. It is the fine tuned with 9 pulses. The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is then modulated with the appropriate garage door opener bit code from the NVM. In addition to being frequency and data format adaptive. The HomeLink® transmitter also adjusts the RF amplitude level based upon the duty cycle. During the training sequence, the duty factor of the incoming bit code format is evaluated by the microcontroller determining the greatest amount of on-time in a 100 mS window. The duty factor is then used to adjust the output power in a range of 80% (1.9 dB) to a Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC. Page 25 of 27 FCC ID: CB2MOTHL3 IC: 279B-MOTHL3

November 28, 2005 maximum limit to 30% (10.5 dB) duty cycle. A 9 bit attenuator is adjusted by a closed loop power control algorithm in the microcontroller. Also, the microcontroller adjusts the output level as a result of the learned frequency of operation. The firmware maintains information relative to the allowable field intensity limits. As the allowable limit increase with frequency of operation the microcontroller adjusts the output level to increase with the increase in transmit frequency. 9.3. Emission Designation According to TRC-43, the emission designation for this product is 149KL1D. Where “149K” is the highest measured occupied bandwidth (149 kHz), “L” indicates the device uses pulse width modulation, “1” indicates the modulation as being single channel, digital information and “D” indicates that data is being transmitted.

November 28, 2005 9.4. Schematics/ Tuning Information Programming the Homelink © III (Tuning Information) To clear memory: 1. Press the two outside buttons until the indicator LED flashes. This indicates the memory values have been cleared. 2.Holding the hand-held transmitter to be copied 3-6 inches from the Homelink © III and simultaneously, activate the hand-held transmitter and one of the Homelink © III buttons until the indicator LED flashes rapidly. The frequency and bit pattern information are now stored in the Homelink © III non-volatile memory (NVM). At this point the Homelink © III can be used as a substitute from for the Original transmitter. When a Homelink © III button is pressed four things happen: 1.A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is set to desired RF carrier frequency (recalled from the NVM). 2.The antenna is coarse tuned by sweeping twice around the expected tuning point. 3.The antenna is fine tuned by 9 pulses of approximately 210 uS in duration with 11 mS off. 4.The VCO is then modulated with the appropriate garage door opener bit code from the NVM.
