1.6 Dates Date of receipt of test sample: 25.07.2018 Start of test: 10.09.2018 End of test: 28.11.2018 2 Operational states The EUT is a service device for avalanche rescue beacons. All tests were carried out with an unmodified sample. During all RF-tests the EUT was supplied with 5.0 V DC by a USB to fibre optics converter. Because the EUT is a USB Stick and not normal position could be defined, the measurements inside the fully anechoic chamber were carried out with the EUT mounted on a 3-D positioner; the final measurements on the open area test site were carried out in three orthogonal directions. These were defined as follows: - Pos. 1: EUT lying on the table, broadside shows upwards. - Pos. 2: EUT lying on the table standing, narrow side shows upwards. - Pos. 3: EUT showing upwards. For details of these positons refer also the photographs in annex A of this test report. With the help of a test-software (BarryvoxMonitor Rev. 3505, supplied by the applicant) installed on a laptop PC it was possible to set a test mode, were the UHF operating mode could be selected. For the AC power line conducted measurement the following operation mode was measured: The EUT was connected via USB to the laptop PC, which was powered by its dedicated AC/DC adaptor, solely powered by an AC mains network with 120 V AC / 60 Hz. A software (BarryvoxMonitor Rev. 3505, supplied by the applicant) was installed on a laptop PC and running. A connection to three avalanche rescue beacons type Barryvox was established and the firmware of the beacons was updated continuously. For this data was send from the PC via USB to the W-LINK STICK and transmitted wireless to the beacon. The reception of the beacon was transmitted wireless to the EUT and via USB to the software on the laptop PC. With this four operation modes of the EUT were tested: - Receiving data via USB. - Transmitting data wireless in SW-upgrade mode. - Receiving data wireless. - Transmitting data via USB. The following test mode was used: Operation Description of the operation mode Channel mode 1 Transmits continuously on the upgrade channel (911.800 MHz) 51 (upgrade) 2 Firmware update of three avalanche rescue beacons 51 Examiner: Thomas KÜHN Report Number: E180803E2 Date of issue: 10.01.2019 Order Number: 18-110803 page 6 of 27

5 Results 5.1 Bandwidth 5.1.1 Method of measurement (bandwidth) The calibration of the spectrum analyser has to be checked with the help of a known signal from a signal generator. The EUT has to be connected to the spectrum analyser via a low loss cable. If the EUT is not equipped with an antenna connector, a temporary antenna connector has to be installed or a test fixture shall be used. The EUT has to be switched on, the transmitter shall work with its maximum data rate. 6 dB bandwidth: The following spectrum analyser settings according to [5] shall be used: - Span: App. 2 to 5 times the OBW, centred on the actual channel. - Resolution bandwidth: 100 kHz. - Video bandwidth: App. three times the RBW. - Sweep: Auto. - Detector function: Peak. - Trace mode: Max hold. After trace stabilisation the marker shall be set on the signal peak. The first display line has to be set on this value. The second display line has to be set 6 dB below the first line (or the peak marker). The frequency lines shall be set on the intersection points between the second display line and the measured curve. 99 % bandwidth: The following spectrum analyser settings shall be used: - Span: wide enough to capture all emission scirts. - Resolution bandwidth: 1 to 5 % of the OBW. - Video bandwidth: App. three times the RBW. - Sweep: Auto. - Detector function: Peak. - Trace mode: Max hold.

5.2 Maximum peak conducted output power 5.2.1 Method of measurement (maximum peak conducted output power) Because the EUT has no antenna connector, which presents the power delivered to the antenna, the peak value of the field strength was measured. The method of measurement is described under clause 5.4.1 (final measurement (30 MHz to 1 GHz)) of this test report with the exception that a peak detector was used. According to [1] with this the field strength value the radiated peak power of the EUT was calculated.

Set the spectrum analyser to EMI mode with peak and average detector activated. 4. Rotate the turntable from 0° to 360° to find the TT Pos. that produces the highest emissions. 5. Note the highest displayed peak and average values 6. Repeat the steps 1) to 5) for each frequency detected during the preliminary measurements.

5.5 Conducted emissions on power supply lines 5.5.1 Method of measurement (conducted emissions on power supply lines) This test will be carried out in a shielded chamber. Table top devices will set up on a non-conducting support with a size of 1 m by 1.5 m and a height of 80 cm above the ground plane. Floor-standing devices will be placed directly on the ground plane. The setup of the Equipment under test will be in accordance to [1]. The frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz will be measured with an EMI Receiver set to MAX Hold mode with peak and average detector and a resolution bandwidth of 9 kHz. A scan will be carried out on the phase (or plus pole in case of DC powered devices) of the AC mains network. If levels detected 10 dB below the appropriable limit, this emission will be measured with the average and quasi-peak detector on all lines.
