FCC Part15.31 (e)
   Host device (Full-color MFP) provides the Bluetooth module with stable power supply, and the power is not
   changed when voltage of the Full-color MFP is varied. Therefore, the equipment complies power supply
   regulation.
FCC Part15.203
   It is impossible for end users to replace the antenna, because the antenna is mounted on the board integrally.
   Therefore, the equipment complies with the antenna requirement of Section 15.203.
FCC Part15.247 (i)
   (i) Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public
   is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. See § 1.1307 (b)(1) of
   this chapter. Please refer to the application documents of FCC ID: NXXBL-565. Model: BL-565 is the original
   model of BL-631.

4 System test configuration
4.1    Justification

The system was configured in typical fashion (as a customer would normally use it) for testing.

      Test item                        Operating mode                            Tested frequency
 Conducted emission Transmitting (DH5), Payload: PRBS9                 2402MHz, 2441MHz, 2480MHz
 Spurious emission     Transmitting (DH5), Payload: PRBS9              Spurious emission:
 (Radiated) &          -Hopping ON/Inquiry                             2402MHz, 2441MHz, 2480MHz
 Band edge             -Hopping OFF                                    Band edge compliance:
 compliance            Transmitting (DH5), Payload: PRBS9              2402MHz, 2480MHz
*Remarks: Test was not performed at AFH mode, because the decrease of number of channel (min: 20ch) at AFH
mode does not influence on the output power and bandwidth of the EUT. However, the limit level 125mWof AFH
mode was used for the test. The EUT has no EDR mode.

* RFID is also run into Transmitting (13.56MHz) mode.
Four RFID modules which have the same specification are mounted in the equipment and they don’t have
simultaneous transmitting function. They were previously checked and the one in which the maximum emission
occurred was chosen. ID tag was mounted in the ribbon inside of the EUT to communicate with each module.

Test distance               :     3m (30MHz-18GHz), 1m (18-26.5GHz)

6.4    Test procedure

The Radiated Electric Field Strength intensity has been measured with a ground plane and at a distance of 3m or 1m.
The measuring antenna height was varied between 1 and 4m and EUT was rotated a full revolution in order to obtain
the maximum value of the electric field intensity. The measurements were performed for both vertical and horizontal
antenna polarization. Measurements were performed with QP, PK, and AV detector.
The radiated emission measurements were made with the following detector function of the test receiver.
When using Spectrum analyzer, the test was made with adjusting span to zero by using peak hold.
