CELLTECH RESEARCH INC. Test Report S/N: 101600-32KBC 1955 Moss Court, Kelowna, Dates of Tests: October 24-27, 2000 B.C. CANADA V1Y 9L3 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0 MPE MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted the guidelines for evaluating the environmental effects of radio frequency radiation in ET Docket 93-62 on August 6, 1996 to protect the public from the potential hazards of RF emissions (1). The safety limits used for the 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 (2). The measurement procedure described in IEEE/ANSI C95.3-1992 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave (3) 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. This criteria for MPE evaluation is also described in OET Bulletin 65 (Edition 97-01), Evaluation Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (4). 4.0 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: S(mW / cm2) = E2 = 37.7H2 3770 where: S = Power density (mW/cm2) Power per unit area normal to the direction of propagation usually expressed in units of watts per square meter (W/m2), or units of milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2). For plane waves, power density, electric field strength (E), and magnetic field strength (H) are related by the impedence of free space (377 Ω). E = Electric field strength (V/m) H = Magnetic field strength (A/m) © 2000 Celltech Research Inc. ITRONIX T5200 FCC ID: KBCT5200RIM801D 2 Rugged Laptop PC with RIM 801D ARDIS Radio Modem

CANADA V1Y 9L3 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.0 DETAILS OF MPE EVALUATION The Itronix T5200 Rugged Laptop PC with RIM 801D ARDIS Radio Modem (FCC ID: KBCT5200RIM801D) and vehicle cradle loaded with a unity gain vehicle rooftop magnetic mount antenna was found to be compliant for MPE based on the following test provisions and conditions: 1) The probe was positioned above a simulated metal vehicle rooftop at a separation distance of 20.0cm from the radiating antenna and at a starting height of 5.0cm to the center of the probe. 2) The turntable was positioned so that the initial start angle was 0 degrees. 3) The EUT was turned on to allow for sufficient time for stabilization. The EUT was operated at full power on a desired frequency. 4) The Survey Meter was set for maximum hold and on the appropriate power range. 5) The turntable was rotated about 360 degrees and the maximum reading was obtained for that elevation. 6) The EUT was then turned off and the probe raised by 5.0cm. 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 next pages. 4cm spacing MPE Test Setup © 2000 Celltech Research Inc.
