                              The applicant has been cautioned as to the following

FCC

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 marketed 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 the 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 Engineering Practices

Unless otherwise indicated, the procedures contained in ANSI C63.4-2014 were observed during testing.

Prior to testing, the EUT was tuned up in accordance with the manufacturer’s alignment procedures. All external
gain controls were maintained at the position of maximum and/or optimum gain throughout the testing.

Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst case measurement.

Standard Test Conditions and Engineering Practices

Unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient temperature was maintained within
the range of 10º to 40ºC (50º to 104ºF) and the relative humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90%.

Serial Numbers: GB0001, WB0001, WG0001, WU0001
Highest Clock Frequency: 2.4 GHz Radio
Additional Information: Out of the 4 available devices, two of them contained all the available options; therefore
the testing was performed on 2 of the devices. One device contains Wi-Fi and satellite modules and the other one
contains Wi-Fi and 4G-LTE module. Because it was unknown which device would have the worst case results,
both devices were fully tested and the worst case results are presented in this test report. When EUT is used in
this report, it is referencing both devices tested.

EUT Operation during Tests
The EUT was placed in a test mode using the manufacturer supplied HTML. The radios in the device were put
into standby.

15.109 Radiated Emissions
 Engineer: Kenneth Lee
 Test Date: 3/3/2018

                                                  Test Procedure

The EUT was tested in a semi-anechoic chamber with the turntable set 3m from the receiving antenna. A
spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Emissions. The EUT was
tested by rotating it 360 degrees with the antennas in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from
1 to 4 meters to ensure the signal levels were maximized. All emissions from 30 MHz to 15 GHz were examined.

                                                    Test Setup


                                                                                 Spectrum
