   3.2. Cables
      Cable Type (See Note)         Length            Shield            From                           To
      Custom Interface Cable         1 Meter            No          Mode Switch Box          SRR2-A Radar Sensor
      Custom Interface Cable        10 Meters           No          Mode Switch Box          SRR2-A Radar Sensor
     Note: Continental Automotive provided two cables that are identical in functionality. They only
           differ in the length. Only one cable is used to interface the SRR2-A Radar Sensor with the
           Mode Switch Box. The 10 meter cable was provided to allow the configuration of the Mode
           Switch Box in a remote location.



   3.3. Operational Characteristics & Software
       Continental Automotive provided a Mode Switch Box to control the SRR2-A Radar Sensor. The
       box provides five operational modes:

                                     •   Normal mode, bandwidth 182 MHz
                                     •   Normal mode, bandwidth 188 MHz
                                     •   CW mode, center frequency
                                     •   CW mode, lower frequency
                                     •   CW mode, upper frequency

       Included with the Mode Switch Box, Continental Automotive provided a six page user’s manual
       that details the setup and the five modes of operation listed above. This manual provides a
       complete reference for configuring the Mode Switch Box and the SRR2-A Radar Sensor.

                    other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the
                    device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna
                    that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be
                    considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this Section.
       Status:      The unit under test employs a permanent, non-user accessible internal
                    PCB antenna.

                     2009, Section 13.7. If no bandwidth requirement is specified by the
                     procuring or regulatory agency, measure the bandwidth at –26 dB with
                     respect to the reference level. The resolution bandwidth was set
                     according to Table 5 in Section 13.7 of ANSI C63.4-2009.

7. Test Site Description
          Compliance Worldwide is located at 357 Main Street in Sandown, New Hampshire.
    The test sites at Compliance Worldwide are used for conducted and radiated emissions
    testing in accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry
    Canada standards. A description of the test sites is on file with the FCC (registration number
    96392) and Industry Canada (file number IC 3023A-1).

        The radiated emissions test site is a 3 and 10 meter enclosed open area test site
    (OATS). Personnel, support equipment and test equipment are located in the basement
    beneath the OATS ground plane.

         The conducted emissions site is part of a 16' x 20' x 12' ferrite tile chamber and uses
    one of the walls for the vertical ground plane required by EN 55022.

         Both sites are designed to test products or systems 1.5 meter W x 1.5 meter L x 2.0
    meter H, floor standing or table top.
