FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 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 to radio or television reception, 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:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warning
The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
RF exposure information (SAR)
This Rugged Tablet PC meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This Rugged Tablet
PCis designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless
Rugged Tablet PC employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the Rugged Tablet PC transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the Rugged Tablet
PC while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Rugged Tablet PC is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model
Rugged Tablet PC as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.339 W/kg.

2. REGULATORY
The 15.203 antenna requirements:
1) An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the
responsible party shall be used with the device.
Adherence - In our design we are using customized antenna made of a carrier and conductive part (pogo spring
pins) which makes contact with the antenna pads of PCB. This is not the standard type and hence any other
antenna cannot be used in place of currently used antenna. This approach is applicable for both cellular as well
as non-cellular RF sections. The pictures of the customized antenna are available in the above section.
2) Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as
perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in
accordance with § 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible
for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded.
Adherence The antenna in our EUT (tablet) cannot to remove by a user as the antenna is fixed inside the unit.
Removal of antenna requires the unit to be sent to service Centre where the professionally trained person
removes/replaces/reworks the antenna if at all necessary.2.1. Device Specification
