                                          INTEGRATION AND USE INFORMATION

                                 INTEGRATION AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The MSR RADIO MODULE is designed exclusively for use in the VideoComm RTWave family of wireless video systems. The MSR
RADIO MODULE will not function in any other system. However, there are certain criteria relative to integrating the radio into the
RTWAVE system that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC compliance requirements

The MSR module was tested and certified to meet FCC Parts 15 in a stand-alone configuration.
This demonstrates that the MSR module complies with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the system into which it may be installed.
To simplify system integration of the same Radio Module into different systems and to help keep costs down on future systems using
the same module, The MSR RADIO was FCC approved under the LIMITED MODULAR APPROVAL process for a radio transmitter.
The Requirements as outlined in FCC Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000 are intended to afford relief to equipment
manufacturers by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new equipment authorization for the same transmitter when installed in a
new device.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.

VideoComm as the SYSTEM integrator of the module must follow all installation instructions and cautionary information necessary to
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.

In order to use the MSR RADIO MODULE without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must meet the following
conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC approvals must be obtained.

VideoComm specifies many SYSTEM models with different power levels and antenna gains. These are provided as part of this manual
(see included exhibits for FCC test results) System Labeling will match the specific system as it is assembled.

                                       INTEGRATION AND USE INFORMATION

                                 INTEGRATION AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed herein and having a maximum gain of 32dB. Antennas not included
in the list herein or having a gain greater than 32dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is
50Ohms

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

         (1)      This device may not cause harmful interference, and
         (2)      This device must accept any interference, including interference that
                  may cause undesired operation of the device

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication

2. If used with a desktop or other application where the antenna can be easily relocated to meet the 20 cm criteria,
   then this is considered a “mobile” application. If used in a "mobile" application where the antenna is normally
   separated at least 20 cm (7.9 in) from the human body during device operation, then an appropriate warning label
   must be placed on the host unit adjacent to the antenna.



3. The label will contain a statement such as the following:




                                         WARNING
                            RF exposure: Keep at least 20 cm
                            (7.9 in) separation distance from
                            the antenna and the human body.




4. The MSR RADIO MODULE or associated SYSTEM will not be used as a portable device.



5. Host unit user manuals and other documentation must also include appropriate caution and warning statements
   and information.


6. If the FCC ID for the MSR Radio is not visible when installed in the host platform, then a permanently attached or
   marked label must be displayed on the host unit referring to the enclosed radio.
7.

    For example, the label should contain wording such as:



                                      Contains MSR Radio transmitter module

                         MSR MODULE INSTALLATION
                              INSTRUCTIONS

The MSR radio will be packaged in a pink anti-static plastic bag. It is critical that it only be opened at an ESD
safe work station and the technician be properly instructed on how to handle ESD devices and be grounded with
an approved tested wrist strap.

The Module will be accompanied by a MASTER BUILD SHEET when removed from inventory and given to a
technician for assembly into a SYSTEM. The Radio MODULE will be marked externally with its SERIAL
number and this number must be copied to the master build sheet for the system. Additional Serial number
labels will also accompany the MODULE to be attached to the outside of the SYSTEM enclosure.

As the technician installing the module you must clearly indicate on the build sheet your ID number for QC
purposes.

The radio will be packaged with the following accessories to complete the installation. (This may vary with
SYSTEM model being assembled, see BUILD SHEET)


   1. Any necessary U_FL (IPEX)-SMA shielded jumper cables (depending on the SYSTEM model).
   2. 1 piece of (foam center) 2 sided mounting tape to help secure the module within the MINI PCI
      connector.
   3. 1 set of FCC labels to be installed on the approved MODULE.
   4. 1 set of FCC labels to be installed on the outside of the finished SYSTEM.
   5. 1 amplifier assembly (depending on SYSTEM model).
   6. Antenna or antennas configured for the SYSTEM on the build sheet.
   7. 6 tie wraps to secure wiring.




                                                        7


Installation is as follows:

1. First attach the 2 sided foam tape within the marked area on the PCB shown on the master build sheet. Trial
fit the radio module on the PCB and ensure it locks in place. (Adjust the PCI fingers to ensure a good fit if
needed). Release the Radio and peel off the 2nd protective layer of the 2 sided tape and install the RADIO
MODULE (press to make good contact with the tape).

2. Attach the U_FL (IPEX) jumper cables to the module (follow the build sheet) using the special U_FL (IPEX)
installation tool. Attach the other end to where the build sheet indicates (amplifier, antenna or antennas). Follow
wiring diagram very carefully.

3. Confirm all cables are connected as indicated on your build sheet.

4. Attach the MAIN SYSTEM PCB (with the module installed) on the metal mounting plate (be careful not to
get any wires caught on the mounting studs. Put in the 3 pieces of 4-40 screws. Tighten with torque set
screwdriver until it clicks.

5. Route the antenna wires to their appropriate place indicated on the build sheet. Secure with Tie Wraps

6. (if build sheet indicates amplifier) the amplifier comes attached to a heatsink with its power supply attached
but not connected. Attach wires as indicated in the diagram. (see attached exhibits)

7. Route power wires from main PCB to the mounting plate connections. Secure any loose wiring with Tie
Wraps.

8. Install any RCA cable jumpers from the main PCB to the mounting plate. Secure any loose wires with Tie
Wraps.

9. Confirm all wiring is connected as described on the build sheet and there is no loose wiring.

10. Initial to confirm all wiring steps.

11. Install the mounting plate with attached PCB and module into the enclosure. Secure with 3 screws and
ensure they are snug only. Don’t over tighten or you will strip the plastic threads.

12. Pass the system to the test bench.

                               TEST BENCH PROCEDURES
Test bench will complete the following tests. Based on the model on the build sheet, the tests will involve RSSI
visual test with the system in link ready mode.

Both MASTER server/client will be connected to the setup computer to load software MAC and configure the
HARDCODED SSID number and WEP CODE. (USER cannot change codes) SSID and WEP are created by
the software using a date code algorithm that will essentially never be repeated.

Check build sheet in case customer ordered 128 BIT WEP. If yes, check the code book for next unused code.

       NOTE: Systems with amplifier.
       The external heat sink is NOT attached at this point; DO NOT leave the system running for more
       than 5 minutes during software loading or damage to the amplifier may occur.

   1. Attach antenna cable (cables) to antenna (antennas). (critical if amplifier is installed)

   2. Connect 1 channel of the LAB power supply set at 9 VDC to server (don’t turn on) connect the second
      channel also set at 9VDC to the client. (don’t turn on yet)

   3. Attach an RS232 cable with adapter to the client and server motherboards as indicated on the setup
      photograph.

   4. Make sure the computer is running and that 2 copies of Comdebugger software are loaded. One set to
      COM 7 and the other to COM 8

   5. Turn on the Lab Power Supply, verify the current draw meets minimum and maximum requirements for
      the system being tested.

   6. Test Technician must load the correct MAC configured for the system as indicated on the build sheet.
      (Incorrect software may damage the amplifier or other components).

   7. After the COM software provides confirmation of a successful software load, turn off the Lab Power
      supply.

   8. The technician must complete the following QC tests.

   9. Confirm power supply is off.


   10. Connect client PCB to the video monitor.

   11. Connect server PCB to video source.


                                                       12


   NOTE: Systems with amplifier.
   The external heat sink is NOT attached at this point; DO NOT leave the system running for more
   than 5 minutes during system testing or damage to the amplifier may occur.

12. Turn on the server and client power supplies and verify a link is established.

13. Observe the video latency, link rate and current consumption of each system; observe the quality of the
    video picture. Note your findings on the build sheet.

14. Turn off the 2 systems and disconnect the power supplies

15. Recheck all connections and confirm all loose wires are secure, all connectors (Power and RF) are snug.
    Note any errors on the build sheet.

16. For the Omni Antenna versions (Rubber Duck), leave the antennas loose to be packed in the box. For IP
    (internal Patch) antennas, secure the antenna to the internal mounting plate making sure the screws are
    secure and SMA connectors are securely attached to its mating cable or amplifier (as per the build sheet).

17. Close the top of the enclosure and attach all necessary identification labels as indicated. Attach the
    FCC labels as indicated on the back of the enclosure (See Below).

18. Wrap the front face of the enclosure with low tack protective sticky plastic.

19. Pass the system (PAIR) and any accessories to the packaging department with the serial number labels
    to be placed on the outside of the box and hand in the build sheet.
