Dear Andy:

On behalf of Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. is an amendment in response to items 2 and 3 of your e-mail dated
November 15, 2001 requesting additional information for the subject application.

1. Please find attached the revised pages of the SAR test report showing the measured dielectric
   parameters used for both the head and body SAR tests. Please note that the target tissue parameters
   for 150MHz were used in the SAR evaluation software. If there was any appreciable variation in the
   measured tissue parameters from the target values specified then the SAR was adjusted using the
   sensitivities to SAR (see attached “SAR Sensitivities”).
2. The determination of the E-field probe conversion numbers was performed by the system
   manufacturer’s recommended linear extrapolation routine. The extrapolation and interpolation was
   based on the two calibrated data points of 900 and 1800MHz in head simulating tissue. Included in this
   response is an example of an identical calibrated E-probe from the same system manufacturer. The
   conversion numbers outside the two calibration reference points for this probe were determined using
   numerical methods. There exists at this time no other method by the manufacturer of determining
   probe conversion below 800MHz. The chart and tables attached indicate the linearity of this E-field
   probe across several frequency bands with the associated uncertainty. The graph also shows that for
   frequencies below 800MHz the slope of the derived conversion numbers is steeper. If an extrapolation
   is performed from the two data points, 900 and 1800MHz, in the absence of numerical modeling, the
   probe conversion numbers derived are less than those expected. Since the conversion number is
   inversely proportional to the total SAR value determined, a lower than expected conversion number will
   result in an over estimation of the actual SAR.

If you have any further questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

The brain and body mixtures consist of a viscous gel using hydroxethylcellulose (HEC) gelling
agent and saline solution. Preservation with a bactericide is added and visual inspection is made to
ensure air bubbles are not trapped during the mixing process. The fluid was prepared according to
standardized procedures and measured for dielectric parameters (permitivity and conductivity).

Application Note: SAR Sensitivities
Introduction
The measured SAR-values in homogeneous phantoms depend strongly on the electrical
parameters of the liquid. Liquids with exactly matching parameters are difficult to produce;
there is always a small error involved in the production or measurement of the liquid
parameters. The following sensitivities allow the estimation of the influence of small
parameter errors on the measured SAR values. The calculations are based on an
approximation formula [1] for the SAR of an electrical dipole near the phantom surface and
a adapted plane wave approximation for the penetration depth. The sensitivities are given in
percent SAR change per percent change in the controlling parameter:

                d SAR / SAR
         S(x) = ———————
                   dx/x

The controlling parameters x are:
   • ε : permitivity
   • σ : conductivity
   • ρ : brain density (= one over integration volume)

For example: If The liquid permitivity increases by 2 percent and the sensitivity of the SAR
to permitivity is -0.6 then the SAR will decrease by 1.2 percent.

The sensitivities are given for surface SAR values and averaged SAR values for 1 g and 10
g cubes and for dipole distances d of 10mm (for frequencies below 1000 MHz) and 15mm
(for frequencies above 1000 MHz) from the liquid surface.

Liquid parameters are as proposed in the new standards (e.g., IEEE 1528).
