PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2017-1-25 Client and Equipment Under Evaluation Information Company Name: Starkey Laboratories, Inc. Address: 6600 Washington Ave. SO. City, State, Zip: Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Evaluation Requested By: Bill Mitchell Model: Hearing Aid Date of Evaluation: Monday, May 14, 2018 Information Provided by the Party Requesting the Evaluation Functional Description of the Equipment: Hearing Aid which communicates using a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio and a 10.2 MHz Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) radio. Objective: To demonstrate compliance of the Bluetooth Low Energy radio with FCC RF exposure requirements for 2.1093 portable devices. Report No. STAK0116.8 EAR-Controlled Data 7/9

SAR TEST EXCLUSION EXRPT.2017.10.02 OVERVIEW Human exposure to RF emissions from portable devices (47 CFR §2.1093) used with the radiating antenna closer than 20 cm to the user requires Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. COMPLIANCE WITH FCC 2.1093 “Portable devices that operate in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service pursuant to part 22 of this chapter; the Personal Communications Service (PCS) pursuant to part 24 of this chapter; the Satellite Communications Services pursuant to part 25 of this chapter; the Miscellaneous Wireless Communications Services pursuant to part 27 of this chapter; the Maritime Services (ship earth station devices only) pursuant to part 80 of this chapter; the Specialized Mobile Radio Service, the 4.9 GHz Band Service, and the 3650 MHz Wireless Broadband Service pursuant to part 90 of this chapter; the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) and the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (MedRadio), pursuant to subparts H and I of part 95 of this chapter, respectively, unlicensed personal communication service, unlicensed NII devices and millimeter wave devices authorized under §§15.253(f), 15.255(g), 15.257(g), 15.319(i), and 15.407(f) of this chapter; and the Citizens Broadband Radio Service pursuant to part 96 of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use. All other portable transmitting devices are categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use, except as specified in §§1.1307(c) and 1.1307(d) of this chapter. Applications for equipment authorization of portable transmitting devices subject to routine environmental evaluation must contain a statement confirming compliance with the limits specified in paragraph (d) of this section. Technical information showing the basis for this statement must be submitted to the Commission upon request.” The EUT will be used with a separation distance of less than 20 centimeters between the radiating antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons and must therefore be considered a portable transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1093(b). COMPLIANCE WITH FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06 “KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06” provides the procedures, requirements, and authorization policies for mobile and portable devices. Standalone radio SAR test exclusion is covered under section 4.3.1. Unless specifically required by the published RF exposure KDB procedures, standalone 1-g head or body and 10-g extremity SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions, by measurement or numerical simulation, is not required when the corresponding SAR Test Exclusion Thresholds are met as shown in the Limits section below. Simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion is covered under section 4.3.2. SAR test exclusion is determined for each operating configuration and exposure condition according to the reported standalone SAR of each applicable simultaneously transmitting antenna. When the sum of 1-g or 10-g SAR of all simultaneously transmitting antennas in an operating mode and exposure condition combination is within the SAR limit, SAR test exclusion applies to that simultaneous transmission configuration. Report No. STAK0116.8 EAR-Controlled Data 8/9

SAR TEST EXCLUSION EXRPT.2017.10.02 LIMITS Limits for General Population /Uncontrolled Exposure: 47 CFR 1.1310 (c) The SAR limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure are 0.08 W/kg, as averaged over the whole body, and a peak spatial-average SAR of 1.6 W/kg, averaged over any 1 gram of tissue (defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube). Exceptions are the parts of the human body treated as extremities, such as hands, wrists, feet, ankles, and pinnae, where the peak spatial-average SAR limit is 4 W/kg, averaged over any 10 grams of tissue (defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube). Exposure may be averaged over a time period not to exceed 30 minutes to determine compliance with general population/uncontrolled SAR limits. For 100 MHz to 6 GHz and test separation distances ≤ 50 mm, the SAR test exclusion thresholds are 1-g for head and body SAR and 10-g SAR for extremity SAR. ASSESSMENT For 100 MHz to 6 GHz and test separation distances ≤ 50 mm, the 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds are determined by the following: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] · [vf(GHz)] = 3.0 for 1-g SAR and = 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where • f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz • Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation • The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison • 3.0 and 7.5 are referred to as the numeric thresholds in the step b below The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 4.1f) is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. The SAR Test Exclusion Threshold is summarized in the following table: Measured Minimum Transmit Exclusion Radio Conducted Output Duty Cycle Separation Limit Compliant Frequency (MHz) Threshold Power (mW) Distance (mm) BTLE 2402 0.7354 1 5 0.228 3.0 Yes The information in the table above was obtained from: STAK0116.0 and customer provided RF Exposure information form Report No. STAK0116.8 EAR-Controlled Data 9/9
