1.0    Introduction

This report is designed to show compliance with the FCC Part 2.1091 Radio Frequency Radiation
Exposure Evaluation for mobile and unlicensed devices.       The test procedures and limits, as
described in American National Standards Institute C95.1—1992, were employed. A description
of the product and operating configuration, the various provisions of the rules, the methods for
determining compliance, and a detailed summary ofthe results are included within thistest report.


2.0    Description of Equipment

The Sietra Wireless, Inc. Model AirBooster is a 4 watts ERP RF CDPD amplifier with frequency
range from 824 — 849 MHz.

The amplifier is used with the following antennas:

Antenna number 1. Larsen M/N: NMO 800+BAS—03, 3.0 dBd gain.
Antenna number 2. Antenna World M/N: MST—855+BAS—08, 3.0 dBd gain.
Antenna number 3. Aligon M/N: PM—BF42, 3.0 dBd gain.
Antenna number 4. Antenna World M/N: CLR—877.
Antenna number 5. Antenna World M/N: CLR—8247+BAS—04

3.0    Test Summary

The CDPD Amplifier was tested by Intertek Testing Services as documented herein, and the
energy emitted by the EUT was found to be below the recommended levels of Maximum
Permissible Exposure for Uncontrolled Environments in FCC 1.1310 (ANSI C95.1: 1992).

Therefore, in reference to the limits set forth in FCC 1,1310 use of the equipment is deemed to
be safe with respect to human exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, when used
in a normal fashion.

          Measurement equipment used for radiated emission compliance testing utilized some of the
          equipment on the following list:

            Holaday                 Field Strougth Meter       HI—3004EX             5/7/00



          5.3     Test Procedure

          The test was performed at 836 MHz. ‘The antenna was placed on a 0.8m wooden table on open
          site. The antenna was connected to the EUT. EUT output power was measured at RF output
I         connector, EUT has 36.5 dBm power output.

          The sensor of the field strength meter was moved around the antenna to obtain the maximum
          reading of the field strength meter. The measurements were performed at the distance 0.2m and
          0.3m from the antenna.
C—I




          5.4     Field Strength Calculation
    ——]




          The field strength was measured directly from the meter. ‘The power density (PD in W.m‘) was
          calculated using the following formula:
    —M




                                                    Pd = E‘/120x
