The applicant has been cautioned as to the following


15.21 - Information to User

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.27(a) - Special Accessories

Equipment marked to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in
which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are
required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment
must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging
the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of
ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer without an additional charge.

Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization
or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of
this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such
devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that
these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special
accessories supplied with the equipment.

Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices

Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing:

In accordance with ANSI C63.10-2013 and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient
temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F) unless the particular
equipment requirements specified testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the
humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity.

Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements.

EUT Description
Model: XY4D
Description: This is a TAG that tracks valuables. These valuables can be items or people. It performs this by finding its
location with BLE beacon. It transmites its position via BLE
Firmware: codeless_585
Software: N/A
Serial Number: 8
Additional Information: The EUT implements BLE modulation.

EUT Operation during Tests
The EUT was set to transmit at the lowest, middle and highest channel of operation at the maximum available power
setting. The EUT was controlled via TeraTerm software on a laptop computer.


        Accessories: None

        Cables: None

        Modifications: None




15.203: Antenna Requirement:

                                             X      The antenna is permanently attached to the EUT

                                                    The antenna uses a unique coupling

Output Power
Engineer: Kenneth Lee
Test Date: 9/25/2017

                                                        Test Procedure

The EUT was setup in a semi-anechoic test chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna. The EUT was set to transmit on the
lowest, middle and highest frequency of operation at the maximum power level. The EUT was tested, in 3 orthogonal axis, by
rotating it 360 with the receive antenna in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure
the TX signal levels were maximized. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Output
Power.

The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

RBW ≥ DTS Bandwidth
VBW ≥ 3 x RBW
Span ≥ 3 x RBW
Sweep time = auto couple
Detector = peak
Trace Mode = max hold

Radiated Spurious Emissions.

All emissions from 30 MHz to 1 GHz were examined.
Measured Level includes antenna and receiver cable correction factors.
Correction factors were input into the spectrum analyzer before recording “Measured Level”.

Transmitter Power Spectral Density (PSD)
Engineer: Kenneth Lee
Test Date: 9/25/2017

                                                        Test Procedure

The EUT was setup in a semi-anechoic test chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna. The EUT was set to transmit on the
lowest, middle and highest frequency of operation at the maximum power level. The EUT was tested, in 3 orthogonal axis, by
rotating it 360 with the receive antenna in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure
the TX signal levels were maximized. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements.
The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

DTS channel center frequency
Span 1.5 x DTS bandwidth
RBW =3 kHz ≤ RBW ≤ 100 kHz
VBW ≥ 3 x RBW
Peak Detector
Sweep time = auto couple
Trace mode = max hold

Once the trace has stabilized the peak marker was used to determine the power spectral density.
