Federal Communications Commission

This device complies with Title 47 CFR § Parts 90 of the federal code. The device
complies with 47CFR § 1.1310, Table 1, Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled
Exposure for MPE (maximum permissible exposure) to electromagnetic fields, when
installed and operated as described herein.

This device must be operated as supplied by XetaWave LLC. Any changes or
modifications made to the device without the express written approval of XetaWave LLC
may void the user’s authority to operate the device, pose violations and liabilities.

Caution

The Xeta1-M2 has a maximum transmitted output power of 5 watts when used in
compliance with FCC or IC regulations in the 150-174 MHz frequency band. The
transmit antenna shall be kept at least 160.3 cm from physical space where humans
may exist, based on a maximum antenna gain of 11.0 dBi.

 Additional details may be found in the “RF Exposure Calculations” at the end of

this section.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

1) Reorient or relocate the devices and/or antennas.

2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

3) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

4) Consult the dealer or an experienced RF/radio/electronics professional for help.

This device must be installed in a host unit for fixed installations.

WARNING

This radio module shall be installed by an RF/radio professional familiar with the
applicable rules. Installation of antennas shall be performed in a manner that will
provide at least the MPE Distance from any user or member of the public in the
direction of maximum radiation.

Professional installers receive radios with factory preset settings in compliance with the
values and limits specified in the radio certification.

While the grant references the full range of 150-174MHz frequencies, we attest that this
product will comply with Part 90 FCC regulations within the following frequency bands
and modulations:

150.8 - 156.2475 MHz

157.1875 -161.575 MHz

161.775 - 161.9625 MHz

162.0375 - 173.4 MHz

FCC antenna compliance

Since professional installation is required, standard RF connectors are used. Adapters or
custom coaxial cables may be required to connect the radio output connector to the
desired antenna.

Any antenna from a reputable manufacturer with desired bandwidth, gain/pattern
coverage, and a rated nominal impedance of 50 ohms, can be used.

Exposure Compliance

FCC ID: PEJ-9382010

It is the responsibility of the licensee or user to guarantee compliance with the
appropriate MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described
herein. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or oriented
such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin
65/47CFR § 1.1310.

People should not be near the antenna when the radio link is operating as general
practice and maintain a safe distance as calculated below.

The MPED (Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance) is calculated using the FCC limit
(0.2 mW/cm2) for a general population/uncontrolled exposure in the 30-300 MHz
frequency band.

To calculate safe distance:

Where:

MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance in cm;
ConductedPower is the power delivered to the antenna in mW;
ExposureLimit is the limit for General Population/ Uncontrolled exposure in mW/cm2

All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities.

The XETA1-M2 transmitter duty cycle varies depending on many factors. Packet sizes,
which are set up by the installer as part of the radio/network configuration, are a
primary determinant. At power up and with no data payload, the radios will transmit a
beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10%, depending upon modulation setting. The duty
cycle will increase when a data payload is transmitted, but will also be influenced by
network configuration, network type, number of radios in the network, propagation
distance between radios, and other factors. For the purpose of the MPED calculation, a
worst case duty cycle of 100% will be assumed, although this duty cycle is not achieved
in typical operation.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful energy and interference. If not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, the Xeta1 may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
