The Applicant has been cautioned as to the following: 15.21 Information to the User. The users 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 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 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. Flom Test Labs 3356 N.

Name of Test: Field Strength of Spurious Radiation Specification: 2.1053(a) Test Equipment Utilized: i00029, i00088, i00089 Test Date: 6/13/2008 Measurement Procedure Definition: Radiated spurious emissions are emissions from the equipment when transmitting into a non-radiating load on a frequency or frequencies which are outside an occupied band sufficient to ensure transmission of information of required quality for the class of communications desired. Method of Measurement: A) Connect the equipment as illustrated B) Adjust the spectrum analyzer for the following settings: 1) Resolution Bandwidth 100 kHz (<1 GHZ), 1 MHZ (> 1GHz). 2) Video Bandwidth ≥ 3 times Resolution Bandwidth, or 30 kHz (22.917) 3) Sweep Speed ≤2000 Hz/second 4) Detector Mode = Mean or Average Power C) Place the transmitter to be tested on the turntable in the standard test site. The transmitter is transmitting into a non-radiating load that is placed on the turntable. The RF cable to this load should be of minimum length. D) For each spurious measurement the test antenna should be adjusted to the correct length for the frequency involved. This length may be determined from a calibration ruler supplied with the equipment. Measurements shall be made from the lowest radio frequency generated in the equipment to the tenth harmonic of the carrier, except for the region close to the carrier equal to ± the test bandwidth (see section 1.3.4.4). E) For each spurious frequency, raise and lower the test antenna from 1 m to 4 m to obtain a maximum reading on the spectrum analyzer with the test antenna at horizontal polarity. Repeat this procedure to obtain the highest possible reading. Record this maximum reading. F) Repeat step E) for each spurious frequency with the test antenna polarized vertically.

G) Reconnect the equipment as illustrated. H) Keep the spectrum analyzer adjusted as in step B). I) Remove the transmitter and replace it with a substitution antenna (the antenna should be half- wavelength for each frequency involved). The center of the substitution antenna should be approximately at the same location as the center of the transmitter. At lower frequencies, where the substitution antenna is very long, this will be impossible to achieve when the antenna is polarized vertically. In such case the lower end of the antenna should be 0.3 m above the ground. J) Feed the substitution antenna at the transmitter end with a signal generator connected to the antenna by means of a non-radiating cable. With the antennas at both ends horizontally polarized and with the signal generator tuned to a particular spurious frequency, raise and lower the test antenna to obtain a maximum reading at the spectrum analyzer. Adjust the level of the signal generator output until the previously recorded maximum reading for this set of conditions is obtained. This should be done carefully repeating the adjustment of the test antenna and generator output. K) Repeat step J) with both antennas vertically polarized for each spurious frequency. L) Calculate power in dBm into a reference ideal half-wave dipole antenna by reducing the readings obtained in steps J) and K) by the power loss in the cable between the generator and the antenna and further corrected for the gain of the substitution antenna used relative to an ideal half-wave dipole antenna. M) The levels recorded in step L) are absolute levels of radiated spurious emissions in dBm. The radiated spurious emissions in dB can be calculated by the following: Flom Test Labs 3356 North San Marcos Place, Suite 107 Page 8 of 10 Chandler, Arizona 85225-7176 FCC ID: ALH22923130 (866) 311-3268 phone, (480) 926-3598 fax MFA p0850001, d0860026

Sample Calculation Radiated spurious emissions dB = 10log10(TX power in watts/0.001) – the levels in step l) NOTE: It is permissible that other antennas provided can be referenced to a dipole.
