Test Report S/N: 102902-300KBC Test Date(s): October 30, 2002 FCC/IC MPE Measurements 3.0 MPE MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES The safety limits used for the RF exposure environmental evaluation measurements are based on the criteria published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for localized MPE in IEEE/ANSI C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz - 300 GHz (see reference [1]). The measurement procedure described in IEEE/ANSI C95.3-1992 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave (see reference [2]) is used for guidance in measuring MPE due to RF exposure from the particular transmitting device. The new guidelines incorporate limits for MPE in terms of electric and magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. The criteria for MPE evaluation is also described in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (01-01), Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (see reference [3]), and Industry Canada’s Radio Standards Specification RSS-102 Issue 1 (Provisional), Evaluation Procedure for Mobile and Portable Radio Transmitters with respect to Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 for Exposure of Humans to Radio Frequency Fields (see reference [4]). 4.0 MPE DEFINITION MPE is the RMS and peak electric and magnetic field strength, their squares, or the plane-wave equivalent power densities associated with these fields to which a person may be exposed without harmful effect, and with an acceptable safety factor. The MPE prescribed by the standard are set in terms of different parameters of effects, depending on the frequency generated by the device. The MPE levels are set in terms of power density, whose definition and relationship to electric and magnetic field strengths are described by the following equation: 2 S(mW / cm ) = E2 = 37.7H2 3770 where: 2 S = Power density (mW/cm ) Power per unit area normal to the direction of propagation usually expressed in units of 2 2 watts per square meter (W/m ), or units of milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm ). For plane waves, power density, electric field strength (E), and magnetic field strength (H) are related by the impedance of free space (377Ω). E = Electric field strength (V/m) H = Magnetic field strength (A/m) © 2002 Celltech Research Inc.

Test Report S/N: 102902-300KBC Test Date(s): October 30, 2002 FCC/IC MPE Measurements 6.0 DETAILS OF MPE EVALUATION The Itronix Corporation Model: IX260 Rugged Laptop PC FCC ID: KBCIX260LMC350 with internal Cisco LMC350 DSSS PCMCIA WLAN Card, Vehicle Cradle, and (2) Mobile Vehicle-Mount Antennas (MaxRad P/N: BMAXC24503, BMAXC24505) was found to be compliant for MPE based on the following test provisions and conditions: 1) The probe was positioned on the turntable at a separation distance of 20 cm from the radiating antenna and at a starting height of 5 cm to the center of the probe. 2) The turntable was positioned so that the initial start angle was 0 degrees. 3) The EUT was powered on and allowed sufficient time to stabilize. The EUT was operated at full power on a desired frequency. 4) The Survey Meter was set for maximum hold, and set on the appropriate power range. 5) The turntable was rotated 360 degrees and the maximum reading was obtained for that elevation. 6) The EUT was then turned off and the probe raised by 5 cm. This process was repeated to a sufficient distance past the tip of the antenna or where the maximum radiation was reduced by a significant factor to warrant no further measurement. The data was then tabulated and graphed in the charts and tables shown on the next pages. 4cm spacing MPE Test Setup Photograph © 2002 Celltech Research Inc.
