1. Assessment
This RF Exposure evaluation report provides information about compliance of the below identified device with
the RF Exposure limits for mobile devices as defined in FCC CFR Part 1 (1.1307 &1.1310), Part 2 (2.1091),
and ISEDC standard RSS-102, under given conditions (measured or rated RF output power, antenna gain,
distance towards human body, multiple transmitter information as presented by the applicant). In addition,
maximum antenna gain or minimum distance towards the human body is calculated, respectively, where
relevant.

The device meets the limits as stipulated by the above given FCC/ISEDC rule parts based on available
specifications.

4. RF Exposure Limits
    The following basic limits and rules apply for the device described in Section 3 of this report.

    4.1. Power Density Limits acc. to FCC 1.1310(e)

             Frequency Range (MHz)                     Power density (mW/cm2)             Averaging time (minutes)
                     300-1500                                    f/1500                                 30
                  1500 – 100.000                                   1.0                                  30

    4.2. Routine Environmental Evaluation Categorical Exclusion Limits acc. to FCC 2.1091(c)

        Operating frequency < 1.5GHz: excluded if ERP < 1.5W / 31.8dBm
        Operating frequency > 1.5GHz: excluded if ERP < 3.0W / 34.8dBm

Per KDB 447498 D01 FCC allows calculative estimation of RF exposure for mobile applications when routine
environmental evaluation categorical exclusion applies and also for fixed applications.

    4.3. Exemption Limits for Routine Evaluation to RSS-102 2.5.2

RF exposure evaluation is required if the separation distance between the user and/or bystander and the device’s
radiating element is greater than 20 cm, except when the device operates as follows:
      Operating frequency > 300MHz < 6GHz: and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of the device
          is equal to or less than 1.31 x 10-2 ƒ0.6834 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance), where ƒ is in MHz;

    4.4. Exposure Limits RSS-102 4

   Table 4: RF Field Strength Limits for Devices Used by the General Public (Uncontrolled Environment)
     Frequency Range             Electric Field          Magnetic Field          Power Density         Reference Period
          (MHz)                   (V/m rms)                (A/m rms)                (W/m2)                (minutes)
          300-6000               3.142 ƒ 0.3417         0.008335 ƒ 0.3417        0.02619 ƒ 0.6834             6

    4.5. RF Exposure Estimation (MPE Estimation)

Having available the source based average output power and peak antenna gain or the ERP/EIRP of the specified
device and for a known minimum distance of its radiating structures from the body of persons according to its use cases
(at least 20cm) the power density at that distance can be estimated by the following formula for plane-wave equivalent
conditions (far-field conditions), when ground reflection is neglected.
