5.1.1.2 Requirements and limits for separation distance > 20 cm This estimation follows the general guidelines for RF Exposure according to KDB 447498. As noted in §2.1091(b) a mobile device is defined as “a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.” According to §2.1091(c) the limits to be used for evaluation are defined in §1.1310. As specified in §1.1310(d)(2) at operating frequencies less than or equal to 6 GHz, the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE), derived from whole-body SAR limits and listed in Table 1 of §1.1310(e) may be used.

5.2.1.2 Limits According to section 2.5.1 of RSS-102, transmitters operating between 3 kHz and 10 MHz, meeting the exemption from routine SAR evaluation, shall demonstrate compliance to the instantaneous limits in section 4 of RSS-102. Therefore, these limits apply irrespective of the separation distance between the user or bystanders and the device. The exposure limits in section 4 of RSS-102 are adopted from Health Canada’s Safety Code 6. According to section 2.1 of Safety Code 6, limits for internal electric field strength are intended to prevent the occurrence of nerve stimulation (NS). At frequencies between 3 kHz and 10 MHz, basic restrictions for internal electric field strength in excitable tissues as shown in table 1 of Safety Code 6 (i.e. table 2 of RSS-102) shall not be exceeded. For conditions where the determination of internal electric field strength is not possible or practical (e.g. by measurement or modelling), external unperturbed field strength assessment shall be carried out and the reference levels outlined in section 2.2 of Safety Code 6 shall be respected. For transmitters operating between 3 kHz and 10 MHz, the requirements of table 4 and table 6 in section 4 of RSS-102 can be found in table 3 and table 4 of Safety Code 6, section 2.2: Electric Field Strength Reference Levels Reference Level (ERL), (V/m, RMS) Frequency Range Reference Level Uncontrolled Controlled Reference Period (MHz) Basis Environment Environment (minutes) 0.003 – 10 NS 83 170 Instantaneous* 0.5 1.1 – 1.29 SAR 87 / ƒ --- 6** 0.5 0.5 1.29 – 10 SAR 87 / ƒ 193 / ƒ 6** Note: Frequency, ƒ, is in MHz.

5.2.1.3 Test configuration The RF exposure test is performed by the direct measurement method using a Broadband probe as described in clause 6.6.1.1 of the supplementary procedure SPR-002. To find the worst case emissions, the field probe is moved over all sides of the EUT at the separation distance as noted in Table 5 and Table 6 while observing the display of the field meter. At the worst case position, the final value is measured and recorded. According to section 3.2 of RSS-102, RF exposure evaluation of devices shall be made in accordance with the latest version of IEEE C95.3. Definition 3.95 in clause 3 of IEEE C95.3 specifies the separation distance applied to the measurement of electric and magnetic fields as the “distance between a source and the nearest point on the probe sensing elements”. 5.2.1.4 Test results Channel Measured electric Limit Fraction of Result Frequency field strength (V/m) limit (MHz) (V/m) at 20 cm + (%) tune-up tolerance 0.125 1.29 83 1.56 Passed Table 5: Result of electric field strength Channel Measured magnetic Limit Fraction of Result Frequency field strength (A/m) limit (MHz) (A/m) at 20 cm + (%) tune-up tolerance 0.125 1.01 90 1.12 Passed Table 6: Result of magnetic field strength Elatec GmbH EMV TESTHAUS GmbH RFID Reader Writer Gustav-Hertz-Straße 35 TWN4 Slim 94315 Straubing Germany 190222-AU01+W04 Page 13 of 18
