                                                  Executive Summary
                                                  The Cordless Handset (Portable Device) from Mitel operating in the 1920 MHz
                                                  frequency range (US DECT Standard). The device has two integrated antennas.
                                                  The objective of the measurements done by IMST was the dosimetric assessment of
                                                  one device in the 1920 MHz frequency range. The handset was set to use one specific
                                                  antenna and frequency during the measurements.
                                                  The examinations have been carried out with the dosimetric assessment system
                                                  „DASY4“.
                                                  The measurements were made according to the Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65 of
                                                  the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating
                                                  compliance of mobile and portable devices with FCC limits for human exposure (general
                                                  population) to radiofrequency emissions. All measurements have been performed in
                                                  accordance to the recommendations given by SPEAG.


                                                  The Mitel Cordless Handset (FCC ID: EHTDECT1) is in compliance with the
                                                  Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for uncontrolled

                                                  2 The IEEE Standard C95.1-1999 and the FCC Exposure Criteria

                                                  In the USA the FCC exposure criteria [OET 65] are based on the withdrawn IEEE
                                                  Standard C95.1-1999 [IEEE C95.1-1999]. This version was replaced by the IEEE Std
                                                  C95.1-2005 in October, 2005.
                                                  Both IEEE standards sets limits for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
                                                  fields in the frequency range 3 kHz to 300 GHz. One of the major differences in the
                                                  newly revised C95.1 is the change in the basic restrictions for localized exposure, from

                                                  identical to the ICNIRP guidelines [ICNIRP 1998].

                                                  2.1 Distinction Between Exposed Population, Duration of Exposure and
                                                  Frequencies
                                                  The American Standard [IEEE C95.1-1999] distinguishes between controlled and
                                                  uncontrolled environment. Controlled environments are locations where there is
                                                  exposure that may be incurred by persons who are aware of the potential for exposure
                                                  as a concomitant of employment or by other cognizant persons. Uncontrolled
                                                  environments are locations where there is the exposure of individuals who have no
                                                  knowledge or control of their exposure. The exposures may occur in living quarters or
                                                  workplaces. For exposure in controlled environments higher field strengths are
                                                  admissible. In addition the duration of exposure is considered.


                                                  SAR Report_Nemko_6620_636_FCC_DECT_Mitel_Handset                                 Page 5 of 29

                                                  Due to the influence of frequency on important parameters, as the penetration depth of
                                                  the electromagnetic fields into the human body and the absorption capability of different
                                                  tissues, the limits in general vary with frequency.

                                                  2.2 Distinction between Maximum Permissible Exposure and SAR Limits
                                                  The biological relevant parameter describing the effects of electromagnetic fields in the
                                                  frequency range of interest is the specific absorption rate SAR (dimension:
                                                  power/mass). It is a measure of the power absorbed per unit mass. The SAR may be
                                                  spatially averaged over the total mass of an exposed body or its parts. The SAR is
                                                  calculated from the r.m.s. electric field strength E inside the human body, the
                                                  conductivity σ and the mass density ρ of the biological tissue:
                                                                                    E2        ∂T
                                                                          SAR = σ        =c                                                   .
                                                                                    ρ         ∂t   t →0 +
                                                                                                                                            (1)

                                                  The specific absorption rate describes the initial rate of temperature rise ∂ T / ∂ t as a
                                                  function of the specific heat capacity c of the tissue. A limitation of the specific
                                                  absorption rate prevents an excessive heating of the human body by electromagnetic
                                                  energy.

                                                  As it is sometimes difficult to determine the SAR directly by measurement (e.g. whole
                                                  body averaged SAR), the standard specifies more readily measurable maximum
                                                  permissible exposures in terms of external electric E and magnetic field strength H and
                                                  power density S, derived from the SAR limits. The limits for E, H and S have been fixed
                                                  so that even under worst case conditions, the limits for the specific absorption rate SAR
                                                  are not exceeded.
                                                  For the relevant frequency range the maximum permissible exposure may be exceeded
                                                  if the exposure can be shown by appropriate techniques to produce SAR values below
                                                  the corresponding limits.

                                                  2.3 SAR Limit
                                                  In this report the comparison between the FCC exposure limits and the measured data
                                                  is made using the spatial peak SAR; the power level of the device under test
                                                  guarantees that the whole body averaged SAR is not exceeded.

                                                  Having in mind a worst case consideration, the SAR limit is valid for uncontrolled
                                                  environment and mobile respectively portable transmitters. According to Table 1 the
                                                  SAR values have to be averaged over a mass of 1 g (SAR1g) with the shape of a cube.

                                                  3 The FCC Measurement Procedure
                                                  The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has published a report and order on
                                                  the 1st of August 1996 [FCC 96-326], which requires routine dosimetric assessment of
                                                  mobile telecommunications devices, either by laboratory measurement techniques or by
                                                  computational modeling, prior to equipment authorization or use. In 2001 the
                                                  Commission’s Office of Engineering and Technology has released Edition 01-01 of
                                                  Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65. This revised edition, which replaces Edition 97-01,
                                                  provides additional guidance and information for evaluating compliance of mobile and
                                                  portable devices with FCC limits for human exposure to radiofrequency emissions [OET
                                                  65].

                                                  3.1 General Requirements
                                                  The test shall be performed in a laboratory with an environment which avoids influence
                                                  on SAR measurements by ambient EM sources and any reflection from the environment
                                                  itself. The ambient temperature shall be in the range of 20°C to 26°C and 30-70%
                                                  humidity.

                                                  3.2 Device Operating Next to a Person’s Ear

                                                  3.2.1 Phantom Requirements
                                                  The phantom is a simplified representation of the human anatomy and comprised of
                                                  material with electrical properties similar to the corresponding tissues. The physical
                                                  characteristics of the phantom model shall resemble the head and the neck of a user
                                                  since the shape is a dominant parameter for exposure.

                                                  3.2.2 Test Positions
                                                  As it cannot be expected that the user will hold the mobile phone exactly in one well
                                                  defined position, different operational conditions shall be tested. The Supplement C to
                                                  OET Bulletin 65 requires two test positions. For an exact description helpful geometrical
                                                  definitions are introduced and shown in Fig. 2 - 3.
                                                  There are two imaginary lines on the mobile, the vertical centerline and the horizontal
                                                  line. The vertical centerline passes through two points on the front side of the handset:
                                                  the midpoint of the width wt of the handset at the level of the acoustic output (point A on

                                                  horizontal line is perpendicular to the vertical centerline and passes through the center
                                                  of the acoustic output (see Fig. 2). The two lines intersect at point A.

                                                  reference points: auditory canal opening of both ears (RE and LE) and the center of the

                                                  ear canal along the BM line (back-mouth), as shown in Fig. 3. The plane passing
                                                  through the two ear canals and M is defined as the reference plane. The line NF (Neck-

                                                  Position the handset close to the surface of the phantom such that point A is on the
                                                  (virtual) extension of the line passing through points RE and LE on the phantom (see
                                                  Fig. 3), such that the plane defined by the vertical center line and the horizontal line of
                                                  the phone is approximately parallel to the sagittal plane of the phantom. Translate the
                                                  handset towards the phantom along the line passing through RE and LE until the
                                                  handset touches the ear. While maintaining the handset in this plane, rotate it around
                                                  the LE-RE line until the vertical centerline is in the plane normal to MB-NF including the
                                                  line MB (called the reference plane). Rotate the phone around the vertical centerline
                                                  until the phone (horizontal line) is symmetrical with respect to the line NF. While
                                                  maintaining the vertical centerline in the reference plane, keeping point A on the line

                                                  While maintaining the orientation of the phone retract the phone parallel to the reference
                                                  plane far enough to enable a rotation of the phone by 15°. Rotate the phone around the
                                                  horizontal line by 15°. While maintaining the orientation of the phone, move the phone
                                                  parallel to the reference plane until any part of the phone touches the head. In this
                                                  position, point A will be located on the line RE-LE.

                                                  3.2.3 Test to be Performed
                                                  The SAR test shall be performed with both phone positions described above, on the left
                                                  and right side of the phantom. The device shall be measured for all modes operating
                                                  when the device is next to the ear, even if the different modes operate in the same
                                                  frequency band.
                                                  For devices with retractable antenna the SAR test shall be performed with the antenna
                                                  fully extended and fully retracted. Other factors that may affect the exposure shall also
                                                  be tested. For example, optional antennas or optional battery packs which may
                                                  significantly change the volume, lengths, flip open/closed, etc. of the device, or any
                                                  other accessories which might have the potential to considerably increase the peak
                                                  spatial-average SAR value.
                                                  The SAR test shall be performed at the high, middle and low frequency channels of
                                                  each operating mode. If the SAR measured at the middle channel for each test
                                                  configuration is at least 3.0 dB lower than the SAR limit, testing at the high and low
                                                  channels is optional.


                                                  4 Body-worn Configurations

                                                  The body-worn configurations shall be tested with the supplied accessories (belt-clips,
                                                  holsters, etc.) attached to the device in normal use configuration. Devices with a
                                                  headset output shall be tested with a connected headset.
                                                  For purpose of determining test requirements, accessories may be divided into two
                                                  categories: those that do not contain metallic components and those that do. For
                                                  multiple accessories that do not contain metallic components, the device may be tested
                                                  only with that accessory which provides the closest spacing to the body.
                                                  For multiple accessories that contain metallic components, the device must be tested
Dasy_Report_FCC_DECT_1900_1.1.doc/22.05.2006/CH




                                                  with each accessory that contains a unique metallic component. If multiple accessories
                                                  share an identical metallic component, only the accessory that provides the closest
                                                  spacing to the body must be tested.
                                                  If the manufacturer provides none body-worn accessories a separation distance of
                                                  1.5 cm between the back of the device and the flat phantom is recommended. Other
                                                  separation distances may be used, but they shall not exceed 2.5 cm.

                                                  The PoC (PTT) configurations shall be tested with the front of the device positioned at
                                                  25 mm from a flat phantom (display towards the phantom).

                                                  4.2 Phantom Requirements
                                                  For body-worn and other configurations a flat phantom shall be used which is comprised
                                                  of material with electrical properties similar to the corresponding tissues.

                                                  4.3 Test to be Performed
                                                  For devices with retractable antenna the SAR test shall be performed with the antenna
                                                  fully extended and fully retracted. Other factors that may affect the exposure shall also
                                                  be tested. For example, optional antennas or optional battery packs which may
                                                  significantly change the volume, lengths, flip open/closed, etc. of the device, or any
                                                  other accessories which might have the potential to considerably increase the peak
                                                  spatial-average SAR value.
                                                  The SAR test shall be performed at the high, middle and low frequency channels of
                                                  each operating mode. If the SAR measured at the middle channel for each test
                                                  configuration is at least 3.0 dB lower than the SAR limit, testing at the high and low
                                                  channels is optional

                                                  The mobile phone operating at the maximum power level is placed by a non metallic
                                                  device holder (delivered from Schmid & Partner) in the above described positions at a
                                                  shell phantom of a human being. The distribution of the electric field strength E is
                                                  measured in the tissue simulating liquid within the shell phantom. For this miniaturised
                                                  field probes with high sensitivity and low field disturbance are used. Afterwards the
                                                  corresponding SAR values are calculated with the known electrical conductivity σ and
                                                  the mass density ρ of the tissue in the SEMCAD FDTD software. The software is able to
                                                  determine the averaged SAR values (averaging region 1 g or 10 g) for compliance
                                                  testing.
                                                  The measurements are done by two scans: first a coarse scan determines the region of
                                                  the maximum SAR, afterwards the averaged SAR is measured in a second scan within
                                                  the shape of a cube. The measurement time takes about 20 minutes.

                                                  Engineering AG is used. The phantom is a fibreglass shell integrated in a wooden table.
                                                  The thickness of the phantom amounts to 2 mm ± 0.2 mm. It enables the dosimetric
                                                  evaluation of left and right hand phone usage and includes an additional flat phantom
                                                  part for the system performance check and body worn measurements. The phantom
                                                  set-up includes a coverage (polyethylene), which prevents the evaporation of the liquid.

                                                  The following steps are used for each test position:
                                                     •   Establish a call with the maximum output power with the test mode provided by
                                                         the manufacturer.
                                                     •   Measurement of the local E-field value at a fixed location (P1). This value serves
                                                         as a reference value for calculating a possible power drift.
                                                     •   Measurement of the SAR distribution with a grid spacing of 15 mm x 15 mm and
                                                         a constant distance to the inner surface of the phantom. Since the sensors can
                                                         not directly measure at the inner phantom surface, the values between the
                                                         sensors and the inner phantom surface are extrapolated. With this values the
                                                         area of the maximum SAR is calculated by a interpolation scheme (combination
                                                         of a least-square fitted function and a weighted average method). Additional all
                                                         peaks within 2 dB of the maximum SAR are searched.
                                                     •   Around this points, a cube of 30 mm x 30 mm x 30 mm is assessed by
                                                         measuring 7 x 7 x 7 points whereby the first two measurement points are within
                                                         the required 10 mm of the surface. With these data, the peak spatial-average
                                                         SAR value can be calculated within the SEMCAD software.

                                                     •   Repetition of the E-field measurement at the fixed location (P1) and repetition of
                                                         the whole procedure if the two results differ by more than ± 0.21dB.

                                                  To control the output power stability during the SAR test the used DASY4 system
                                                  calculates the power drift by measuring the e-field at the same location at the beginning
                                                  and at the end of the measurement for each test position. These drift values can be
                                                  found in the above tables labeled as: (Drift[dB]). This ensures that the power drift during
                                                  one measurement is within 5%.

                                                  The simplified performance check was realized using the dipole validation kit. The input
                                                  power of the dipole antenna was 250 mW (cw signal) and it was placed under the flat
                                                  part of the SAM phantom. The target and measured results are listed in the Table 6 - 7
                                                  and shown in Fig. 8. The target values were adopted from the manufactures calibration
                                                  certificates which are attached in the appendix. Table 8 includes the uncertainty
