Elliott Laboratories, Inc. -- EMC Department                                                    Test Report
                                                                               Report Date: February 8, 2002
SCOPE

         An electromagnetic emissions test has been performed on the Savi Technology model
         EchoPoint Signpost, Model SP-600-101 pursuant to Subpart C of Part 15 of FCC Rules for
         intentional radiators. Conducted and radiated emissions data has been collected, reduced, and
         analyzed within this report in accordance with measurement guidelines set forth in ANSI C63.4-
         1992 as outlined in Elliott Laboratories test procedures.

         The intentional radiator above has been tested in a simulated typical installation to demonstrate
         compliance with the relevant FCC performance and procedural standards.

         Final system data was gathered in a mode that tended to maximize emissions by varying
         orientation of EUT, orientation of power and I/O cabling, antenna search height, and antenna
         polarization.

         Every practical effort was made to perform an impartial test using appropriate test equipment of
         known calibration. All pertinent factors have been applied to reach the determination of
         compliance.

         The test results recorded herein are based on a single type test of the Savi Technology model
         EchoPoint Signpost, Model SP-600-101 and therefore apply only to the tested sample. The
         sample was selected and prepared by Eugene Schlindwein of Savi Technology, Inc.

OBJECTIVE

         The primary objective of the manufacturer is compliance with Subpart C of Part 15 of FCC
         Rules for the radiated and conducted emissions of intentional radiators. Certification of these
         devices is required as a prerequisite to marketing as defined in Part 2 the FCC Rules.

         Certification is a procedure where the manufacturer or a contracted laboratory makes
         measurements and submits the test data and technical information to the FCC. The FCC issues
         a grant of equipment authorization upon successful completion of their review of the submitted
         documents. Once the equipment authorization has been obtained, the label indicating
         compliance must be attached to all identical units which are subsequently manufactured.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

         The tested sample of Savi Technology, Inc. model EchoPoint Signpost, Model SP-600-101
         complied with the requirements of Subpart C of Part 15 of the FCC Rules for low power
         intentional radiators.

         Maintenance of FCC compliance is the responsibility of the manufacturer. Any modification of
         the product which may result in increased emissions should be checked to ensure compliance
         has been maintained (i.e., printed circuit board layout changes, different line filter, different
         power supply, harnessing or I/O cable changes, etc.).

EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) DETAILS

GENERAL

         The Savi Technology model EchoPoint Signpost, Model SP-600-101 is a 132 kHz transmitter
         (signpost) that is designed to be used as part of an inventory tracking system.

         Normally, the EUT would be installed at access monitoring and control points, mounted on a
         wall or pole during operation. The EUT was treated as tabletop equipment during testing to
         simulate the end user environment. The device was tested in both the flat and upright
         orientations to ensure that the maximum field strength from the device was recorded. The
         electrical rating of the EUT is 85-250 VAC, 47-440 Hz, 800/400 mA, 24 VDC, 800 mA.

         The sample was received on January 18, 2002 and tested on January 18 and February 5,
         2002. The EUT consisted of the following component(s):

TEST SITE

GENERAL INFORMATION

         Final test measurements were taken on January 18 and February 5, 2002 at the Elliott
         Laboratories Open Area Test Site #1 & 2 located at 684 West Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale,
         California. The test site contains separate areas for radiated and conducted emissions testing.
         Pursuant to section 2.948 of the Rules, construction, calibration, and equipment data has been
         filed with the Commission.

         The FCC recommends that ambient noise at the test site be at least 6 dB below the allowable
         limits. Ambient levels are below this requirement with the exception of predictable local TV,
         radio, and mobile communications traffic. The test site contains separate areas for radiated and
         conducted emissions testing. Considerable engineering effort has been expended to ensure that
         the facilities conform to all pertinent FCC requirements.


CONDUCTED EMISSIONS CONSIDERATIONS

         Conducted emissions testing is performed in conformance with ANSI C63.4-1992.
         Measurements are made with the EUT connected to the public power network through a
         nominal, standardized RF impedance, which is provided by a line impedance stabilization
         network, known as a LISN. A LISN is inserted in series with each current-carrying conductor
         in the EUT power cord.


RADIATED EMISSIONS CONSIDERATIONS

         The FCC has determined that radiation measurements made in a shielded enclosure are not
         suitable for determining levels of radiated emissions. Radiated measurements are performed in
         an open field environment. The test site is maintained free of conductive objects within the
         CISPR defined elliptical area incorporated in ANSI C63.4 guidelines.

                                                                               Report Date: February 8, 2002
MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTATION

RECEIVER SYSTEM

         An EMI receiver as specified in CISPR 16-1 is used for emissions measurements. The
         receivers used can measure over the frequency range of 9 kHz up to 2000 MHz. These
         receivers allow both ease of measurement and high accuracy to be achieved. The receivers
         have Peak, Average, and CISPR (Quasi-peak) detectors built into their design so no external
         adapters are necessary. The receiver automatically sets the required bandwidth for the CISPR
         detector used during measurements.

         For measurements above the frequency range of the receivers, a spectrum analyzer is utilized
         because it provides visibility of the entire spectrum along with the precision and versatility
         required to support engineering analysis. Average measurements above 1000MHz are
         performed on the spectrum analyzer using the linear-average method with a resolution
         bandwidth of 1 MHz and a video bandwidth of 10 Hz.

         The receivers utilize either a Rohde and Schwarz EZM Spectrum Monitor/Controller or contain
         an internal Spectrum Monitor/Controller to view and convert the receiver measurements to the
         field strength at an antenna or voltage developed at the LISN measurement port, which is then
         compared directly with the appropriate specification limit. This provides faster, more accurate
         readings by performing the conversions described under Sample Calculations within the Test
         Procedures section of this report. Results are printed in a graphic and/or tabular format, as
         appropriate. A personal computer is used to record all measurements made with the receivers.

         The Spectrum Monitor provides a visual display of the signal being measured. In addition, the
         controller or a personal computer run automated data collection programs which control the
         receivers. This provides added accuracy since all site correction factors, such as cable loss and
         antenna factors are added automatically.


LINE IMPEDANCE STABILIZATION NETWORK (LISN)

         Line conducted measurements utilize a fifty microhenry Line Impedance Stabilization Network
         as the monitoring point. The LISN used also contains a 250 uH CISPR adapter. This network
         provides for calibrated radio frequency noise measurements by the design of the internal low
         pass and high pass filters on the EUT and measurement ports, respectively.


FILTERS/ATTENUATORS

         External filters and precision attenuators are often connected between the receiving antenna or
         LISN and the receiver. This eliminates saturation effects and non-linear operation due to high
         amplitude transient events.

ANTENNAS

         A biconical antenna is used to cover the range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz and a log periodic
         antenna is utilized from 300 MHz to 1000 MHz. Narrowband tuned dipole antennas are used
         over the entire 30 to 1000 MHz range for precision measurements of field strength. Above
         1000 MHz, a horn antenna is used. The antenna calibration factors are included in site factors
         programmed into the test receivers.


ANTENNA MAST AND EQUIPMENT TURNTABLE

         The antennas used to measure the radiated electric field strength are mounted on a non-
         conductive antenna mast equipped with a motor-drive to vary the antenna height.

         ANSI C63.4 specifies that the test height above ground for table mounted devices shall be 80
         centimeters. Floor mounted equipment shall be placed on the ground plane if the device is
         normally used on a conductive floor or separated from the ground plane by insulating material
         from 3 to 12 mm if the device is normally used on a non-conductive floor. During radiated
         measurements, the EUT is positioned on a motorized turntable in conformance with this
         requirement.


INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION

         All test equipment is regularly checked to ensure that performance is maintained in accordance
         with the manufacturer's specifications. All antennas are calibrated at regular intervals with
         respect to tuned half-wave dipoles. An Appendix of this report contains the list of test
         equipment used and calibration information.

TEST PROCEDURES

EUT AND CABLE PLACEMENT

         The FCC requires that interconnecting cables be connected to the available ports of the unit and
         that the placement of the unit and the attached cables simulate the worst case orientation that
         can be expected from a typical installation, so far as practicable. To this end, the position of the
         unit and associated cabling is varied within the guidelines of ANSI C63.4, and the worst case
         orientation is used for final measurements.

CONDUCTED EMISSIONS

         Conducted emissions are measured at the plug end of the power cord supplied with the EUT.
         Excess power cord length is wrapped in a bundle between 30 and 40 centimeters in length near
         the center of the cord. Preliminary measurements are made to determine the highest amplitude
         emission relative to the specification limit for all the modes of operation. Placement of system
         components and varying of cable positions are performed in each mode. A final peak mode
         scan is then performed in the position and mode for which the highest emission was noted on all
         current carrying conductors of the power cord.

RADIATED EMISSIONS

         Radiated emissions measurements are performed in two phases as well. A preliminary scan of
         emissions is conducted in which all significant EUT frequencies are identified with the system in a
         nominal configuration. At least two scans are performed from 30 MHz up to the frequency
         required by the regulation specified on page 1. One or more of these is with the antenna
         polarized vertically while the one or more of these is with the antenna polarized horizontally.
         During the preliminary scans, the EUT is rotated through 360°, the antenna height is varied and
         cable positions are varied to determine the highest emission relative to the limit.

         A speaker is provided in the receiver to aid in discriminating between EUT and ambient
         emissions. Other methods used during the preliminary scan for EUT emissions involve scanning
         with near field magnetic loops, monitoring I/O cables with RF current clamps, and cycling
         power to the EUT.

         Final maximization is a phase in which the highest amplitude emissions identified in the spectral
         search are viewed while the EUT azimuth angle is varied from 0 to 360 degrees relative to the
         receiving antenna. The azimuth which results in the highest emission is then maintained while
         varying the antenna height from one to four meters. The result is the identification of the highest
         amplitude for each of the highest peaks. Each recorded level is corrected in the receiver using
         appropriate factors for cables, connectors, antennas, and preamplifier gain. Emissions which
         have values close to the specification limit may also be measured with a tuned dipole antenna to
         determine compliance.

SPECIFICATION LIMITS AND SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

         The limits for conducted emissions are given in units of microvolts, and the limits for radiated
         emissions are given in units of microvolts per meter at a specified test distance. Data is
         measured in the logarithmic form of decibels relative to one microvolt, or dB microvolts (dBuV).
         For radiated emissions, the measured data is converted to the field strength at the antenna in dB
         microvolts per meter (dBuV/m). The results are then converted to the linear forms of uV and
         uV/m for comparison to published specifications.

         For reference, converting the specification limits from linear to decibel form is accomplished by
         taking the base ten logarithm, then multiplying by 20. These limits in both linear and logarithmic
         form are as follows:

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS - CONDUCTED EMISSIONS

         Receiver readings are compared directly to the conducted emissions specification limit (decibel
         form) as follows:

                             Rr - B = C

                         and

                             C-S=M

                         where:

                         Rr = Receiver Reading in dBuV

                         B     = Broadband Correction Factor*

                         C     = Corrected Reading in dBuV

                         S     = Specification Limit in dBuV

                         M = Margin to Specification in +/- dB




*        Broadband Level - Per ANSI C63.4, 13 dB may be subtracted from the quasi-peak level if it
         is determined that the emission is broadband in nature. If the signal level in the average mode is
         six dB or more below the signal level in the peak mode, the emission is classified as broadband.

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS - RADIATED EMISSIONS

         Receiver readings are compared directly to the specification limit (decibel form). The receiver
         internally corrects for cable loss, preamplifier gain, and antenna factor. The calculations are in
         the reverse direction of the actual signal flow, thus cable loss is added and the amplifier gain is
         subtracted. The Antenna Factor converts the voltage at the antenna coaxial connector to the
         field strength at the antenna elements. A distance factor, when used for electric field
         measurements, is calculated by using the following formula:


                                  Fd = 20*LOG10 (Dm/Ds)

                         where:

                                  Fd = Distance Factor in dB

                                  Dm = Measurement Distance in meters

                                  Ds = Specification Distance in meters


         Measurement Distance is the distance at which the measurements were taken and Specification
         Distance is the distance at which the specification limits are based. The antenna factor converts
         the voltage at the antenna coaxial connector to the field strength at the antenna elements.

         The margin of a given emission peak relative to the limit is calculated as follows:


                                  Rc = Rr + Fd

                            and

                                  M = Rc - Ls

                         where:

                                  Rr = Receiver Reading in dBuV/m

                                  Fd = Distance Factor in dB

                                  Rc = Corrected Reading in dBuV/m

                                  Ls = Specification Limit in dBuV/m

                                  M = Margin in dB Relative to Spec

                                               EUT INFORMATION

                                                   General Description
  The EUT is a 132 kHz transmitter (signpost) which is designed to be used as part of an inventory tracking system. Normally,
  the EUT would be installed at access monitoring and control points, mounted on a wall or pole during operation. The EUT
  was, therefore, treated as table-top equipment during testing to simulate the end user environment. The electrical rating of
  the EUT is 85-250 VAC, 47-440 Hz, 800/400 mA, 24 VDC, 800 mA.

Extrapolation Factors For Fundamental Signal
The following extrapolation factors are calculated by dividing the difference between the field strengths at the two distances by
the log (base ten) of the ratio of the two distances.
         10m to 20m -62.1
          3m to 10m -55.5
          3m to 20m -57.9
The equation used for extrapolation is:
                                           Extrapolation =[ (Fm - F) / Log (Dm/Ds) ] dB
Where:
   Fm = measured field strength in dBuV/m or dBuA/m
   Ds is the specification test distance
   Dm is the actual measurement distance used

the log (base ten) of the ratio of the two distances.
         10m to 20m -69.8
          3m to 10m -65.4
          3m to 20m -67.0
The equation used for extrapolation is:
                                          Extrapolation =[ (Fm - F) / Log (Dm/Ds) ] dB
Where:
   Fm = measured field strength in dBuV/m or dBuA/m
   Ds is the specification test distance
   Dm is the actual measurement distance used
The calculated extrapolation factor of -65.4dB was used for extrapolating the fundamental signal level. For spurious emissions
the theoretical extrapolation factor of -40dB was used.
