Report Ref: 16E6355-2b Page 5 of 21 1.1 EUT Operation Operating Conditions during Test: The EUT was operated in normal modulated mode for all tests ( i.e. both transmitters always operational ) In this mode the EUT transmitted with 2 carrier frequencies 13.56MHz and 125KHz Note the 13.56MHz transmitter is off when the 125KHz transmitter is operating and vica versa. The 13.56MHz is transmitted with period of 644mS and Ton of approx 11.54mS.and the 125KHz is transmitted with a period of 644mS with a Ton of 105mS within the period. This test report covers the 125KHz transmitter. Ref Test report number 16E6355-1b for 13.56 MHz transmitter The equipment under test was operated during the measurement under the following conditions: The EUT was connected to a laptop (HP 15 Notebook Pc 15-r150sa sn4390D9Q ) for all tests. The laptop was connected to its power adapter HP model 740015-003.for the conducted emissions on the mains test Environmental conditions During the measurement the environmental conditions were within the listed ranges: Temperature: +15 to +35 ° C Humidity: 20-75 % 1.2 Modifications No modifications were required in order to pass the test specifications. 1.3 Date of Test The tests were carried out on one sample of the EUT on dates 10th Jun and 21st Jun 2016 .

Report Ref: 16E6355-2b Page 6 of 21 1.4 Electromagnetic Emissions Testing The guidelines of CISPR 16-4 were used for all uncertainty calculations, estimates and expressions thereof for EMC testing. A copy of Compliance Engineering Ireland Ltd.’s policy for EMC Measurement Uncertainty is available on request. RF Requirements: Spurious emissions in accordance with FCC CFR 15.107, 15.109 and 15.209. Tests were carried out to the requirements of CISPR 16-4 and ANSI C63.4-2014. 1.4.1 Measurement Uncertainty The measurement uncertainty (with a 95% confidence level) for the conducted emissions test was ±3.5 dB. The measurement uncertainty (with a 95% confidence level) for the radiated emissions test was ±5.3 dB (from 30 to 100 MHz), ±4.7 dB (from 100 to 300 MHz), ±3.9 dB (from 300 to 1000 MHz) and ±3.8 dB (from 1 GHz to 40 GHz).

Report Ref: 16E6355-2b Page 7 of 21 2.0 Emissions Measurements 2.1 Conducted Emissions Measurements The EUT was connected to a laptop (HP 15 Notebook Pc 15-r150sa sn4390D9Q ) for all tests. The laptop was connected to its power adapter HP model 740015-003 The Laptop power adapter was connected to the mains through a LISN and measurements were carried out using a Receiver over the frequency range 150KHz to 30MHz. 2.2 Radiated Emissions Measurements Radiated Power measurements were made at the Compliance Engineering Ireland Ltd anechoic chamber located in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland to determine the radio noise radiated from the EUT. A "Description of Measurement Facilities" has been submitted to the FCC and approved pursuant to Section 2.948 of CFR 47 of the FCC rules. The EUT was centred on a motorized turntable, which allows 360 degree rotation. A measurement antenna was positioned at a distance of 3 metres as measured from the closest point of the EUT. The radiated emissions were maximised by configuring the EUT, by rotating the EUT and by raising and lowering the antenna from 1 to 4 meters. Emissions below 30MHz were measured using a loop antenna. In this case the resolution bandwidth was 200Hz for frequencies below 150KHz and RBW was 9KHz for frequencies above 150KHz. Emissions between 30MHz and 1GHz were measured using a bi-log antenna. In this case the resolution bandwidth was 100KHz.

Report Ref: 16E6355-2b Page 8 of 21 Antenna Requirements According to FCC 47 CFR 15.203: “An intentional radiator antenna shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party can be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section.” * The antennas of this E.U.T are permanently attached. *The E.U.T Complies with the requirement of 15.203
