Evaluation No.: D0QJ0001 1 Summary This evaluation is based on numerical calculations to demonstrate the compliance of “Flexi WCDMA BTS” with the maximum permissible exposure limits for general population and occupation to radio frequency electromagnetic fields with respect to FCC 47 CFR §1.1310 [1] (see Annex A). The compliance is shown via the concept of compliance boundary of the antenna as described in section 4.2. The detailed results are shown in Table 4 of section 4. The “Flexi WCDMA BTS” is compliant with the exposure limits of FCC 47 CFR §1.1310 for general population and occupation to radio frequency electromagnetic fields at every point outside the compliance boundary. Provisions have to be taken to guarantee that no public access is possible to regions within the compliance boundaries for general population. For workers adequate warnings and information have to be provided for entering the exclusion area (see Annex C). The results of this evaluation report refer exclusively to the item described in section 4 of this The test report shall not be reproduced except in full without report the written approval of the testing laboratory Date: Jun 19, 2010 WCDMA Base Station page 3 / 13

If an antenna and/or configuration is used which does not correspond to the levels given in Table 4, the compliance boundary must be re-calculated. A formula for calculating the compliance boundary using the far-field model is given in ANNEX B: Far-Field Calculation Method. This model is applicable for calculating the compliance boundary for the far-field region and over estimates the compliance boundary for the radiating near-field region, but is not applicable for calculating the compliance boundary for the reactive near-field region where the distance from the antenna is less than or equal to .

Evaluation No.: D0QJ0001 5 Evaluation of the EUT 5.1 Definition of compliance boundary The compliance boundary defines the volume outside which any point of investigation is deemed to be compliant. Outside the compliance boundary the exposure levels do not exceed the permissible exposure limits irrespective of the time of exposure. 5.2 Assessment of compliance boundary When assessing the applicable compliance boundaries the permissible exposure limits for general population and occupation to radio frequency electromagnetic fields of FCC 47 CFR §1.1310 - see Annex A - have been applied. The compliance boundary is determined as the area around the antenna, shown in Figure 2. The test report shall not be reproduced except in full without The antenna is located at the origo. Distances from the antenna are shown. The top and side views are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. the written approval of the testing laboratory Since the compliance boundaries are within the radiating near field of the antenna the calculations have been carried out with a full wave field simulation program. This program has been verified by applying the validation guideline of Draft IEC 62232 [3] for full wave analyses. The maximum deviation from the reference results from IEC 62232 is less than 10 %. The calculations of the Flexi LTE Base Station antennas have been carried out based on the relevant antenna specifications. The models of the antennas have been designed for far field distributions matching the measured far field distributions of the real antenna provided by the Antenna manufacturer. The compliance boundary has bee calculated using the designed antennas and the exposure limit (Annex A) with a margin of 10 % (uncertainty of the calculation).

Therefore all the calculations are valid when the compliance boundary is greater or equal to the antenna dimensions plus. The compliance boundary in meters, or rmin, is calculated according to the following equation: (G  L) / 10 N 10 Pout rmin  Equation 1 4 S where N is the number of transmitter units per one antenna, G is the antenna gain (dBi), L is the minimum cable losses (dB), Pout is the maximum power of one transmitter unit (W), and S is the power density limit (W/m2). In the far-field, the field calculation does not take into account the antenna size, which is assumed to be a point source. Therefore when calculating the compliance boundary, the far- field data, antenna size and reactive field criteria have to be taken into account. Date: Jun 19, 2010 WCDMA Base Station page 11 / 13

Evaluation No.: D0QJ0001 Annex C: Safety for Public and Workers 1. INSTALLING BASE STATIONS TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY The equipment generates radio frequency energy, which has a thermal effect when absorbed by the human body. For this reason compliance boundaries specific to this equipment have been established. The thermal effects of radio frequency energy can exceed safety levels when a person is inside the established compliance boundaries. Observe the compliance boundary, and make sure the general public has no access to areas inside the established boundaries. The information shown in section 3 of this document is taken from the relevant section of Nokia’s user manual containing warnings and cautions specific to the equipment. 2. INSTALLING BASE STATIONS TO ENSURE INSTALLER SAFETY Installation engineers need to be aware of the potential risk of the thermal effects of radio frequency energy and how to protect him/herself against undue risk. The information shown in section 3 of this Annex has to be included into the adequate section of the user manual containing warnings and cautions specific to the equipment. The test report shall not be reproduced except in full without the written approval of the testing laboratory Date: Jun 19, 2010 WCDMA Base Station page 12 / 13

Evaluation No.: D0QJ0001 3. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS PROVIDED The statements shown below have to be included into the adequate section of the user manual containing warning and cautions specific to the equipment. Reference safety distances When working close to transmitter antennas, the proper safety distances must be observed. The minimum safe distance from an antenna is measured in meters. ! WARNING Do not go any closer to a live antenna than the compliance boundary. The radio frequency energy generated by the antenna poses a serious health risk. The test report shall not be reproduced except in full without ! the written approval of the testing laboratory WARNING If performing installation or maintenance procedures on cables or antennas of the BTS in an area closer than the compliance boundary, make sure that all transmitters in this area are switched off.
