TEST METHODOLOGY
The tests documented in this report were performed in accordance with FCC CFR 47 Part 2,
FCC CFR 47 Part 15, ANSI C63.10-2009, RSS-GEN Issue 3, and RSS-210 Issue 8.


2. FACILITIES AND ACCREDITATION
The test sites and measurement facilities used to collect data are located at 47173 Benicia
Street, Fremont, California, USA.

UL CCS is accredited by NVLAP, Laboratory Code 200065-0. The full scope of accreditation
can be viewed at http://www.ccsemc.com.


3. CALIBRATION AND UNCERTAINTY
   3.1.        MEASURING INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION
The measuring equipment utilized to perform the tests documented in this report has been
calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and is traceable to
recognized national standards.


   3.2.        SAMPLE CALCULATION

Where relevant, the following sample calculation is provided:
      Field Strength (dBuV/m) = Measured Voltage (dBuV) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) +
      Cable Loss (dB) – Preamp Gain (dB)
      36.5 dBuV + 18.7 dB/m + 0.6 dB – 26.9 dB = 28.9 dBuV/m


   3.3.        MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY
Where relevant, the following measurement uncertainty levels have been estimated for tests
performed on the apparatus:

               PARAMETER                      UNCERTAINTY
 Conducted Disturbance, 0.15 to 30 MHz      3.52 dB
 Radiated Disturbance, 30 to 1000 MHz       4.94 dB

Uncertainty figures are valid to a confidence level of 95%.

4. EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST

   4.1.        DESCRIPTION OF EUT

The EUT is a glass providing a heads-up video display. The device incorporates an 802.11 b/g
2.4 GHz WLAN and BT radio. This report covers the Bluetooth Low Energy.


   4.2.        MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER
The measured average power values were within ± 0.5 dB of the original values. Refer to
original report number “12U14656-4A” for exact output power values and for all antenna port
results.


   4.3.        DESCRIPTION OF CLASS II PERMISSIVE CHANGE
The change filed under this application has the following changes.

The antenna length was increased by 2.5mm.

The Wifi antenna battery pod grounding was changed




   4.4.        DESCRIPTION OF AVAILABLE ANTENNAS

The radio utilizes a coaxial monopole antenna with a maximum gain of 3.32 dBi.


   4.5.        SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE

The firmware/software installed in the EUT during testing was 201303251100.

   4.6.        WORST-CASE CONFIGURATION AND MODE

Radiated emission and power line conducted emission were performed video playing with audio
sound and with the EUT set to transmit at the channel with highest output power as worst-case
scenario.

The fundamental of the EUT was investigated in three orthogonal orientations X, Y, and Z. It
was determined that Z-orientation was the worst-case orientation. Therefore, all final radiated
testing was performed with the EUT in Z-orientation operated by AC adapter.

TEST PROCEDURE

The EUT is placed on a non-conducting table 80 cm above the ground plane. The antenna to
EUT distance is 3 meters.

For measurements below 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 100 kHz for peak detection
measurements or 120 kHz for quasi-peak detection measurements. Peak detection is used
unless otherwise noted as quasi-peak.

For measurements above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 1 MHz; the video bandwidth
is set to 1 MHz for peak measurements and as applicable for average measurements.

The spectrum from 30 MHz to 40 GHz is investigated with the transmitter set to the lowest,
middle, and highest channels in each applicable band.

The frequency range of interest is monitored at a fixed antenna height and EUT azimuth. The
EUT is rotated through 360 degrees to maximize emissions received. The antenna is scanned
from 1 to 4 meters above the ground plane to further maximize the emission. Measurements are
made with the antenna polarized in both the vertical and the horizontal positions.

TEST PROCEDURE

The EUT is placed on a non-conducting table 40 cm from the vertical ground plane and 80 cm
above the horizontal ground plane. The EUT is configured in accordance with ANSI C63.4.

The receiver is set to a resolution bandwidth of 9 kHz. Peak detection is used unless otherwise
noted as quasi-peak or average.

Line conducted data is recorded for both NEUTRAL and HOT lines.
