REPORT NO:11708541-E13V3 DATE: SEPTEMBER 01, 2017 FCC ID: BCG-E3159A IC: 579C-E3159A 5. EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST 5.1. DESCRIPTION OF EUT The Equipment Under Test is a mobile phone with GSM, GPRS, EGPRS, UMTS, LTE and TD- SCDMA technologies. It also supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth®, GPS and NFC. The device has a built-in inductive charging receiver which is not user accessible. The rechargeable battery is not user accessible. The MPE analysis performed in this report evaluates a unique mobile use case where the handset is placed on a Apple proprietary wireless charger. The cellular, WiFi and Bluetooth transmitters can be active while being charged. The power levels used and reported in this analysis are specific for this use condition only. Simultaneous transmission for these transmitters are analyzed herein without the wireless charger. The simultaneous transmission use condition and permitted configuration together with the charger will be addressed in the applicable wireless charger certification application 5.2. WORST-CASE CONFIGURATION AND MODE The worst-case is when the EUT is transmitting on the highest power allowed for each of the transmit bands, as specified in the SAR reports The table below is used to determine the worst-case co-located simultaneous transmission for evaluation.

EQUATIONS POWER DENSITY Power density is given by: S = EIRP / (4 * Pi * D^2) Where S = Power density in mW/cm^2 EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power in mW D = Separation distance in cm Power density in units of mW/cm^2 is converted to units of W/m^2 by multiplying by 10. DISTANCE Distance is given by: D = SQRT (EIRP / (4 * Pi * S)) Where D = Separation distance in cm EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power in mW S = Power density in mW/cm^2 SOURCE-BASED DUTY CYCLE Where applicable (for example, multi-slot cell phone applications) a duty cycle factor may be applied. Source-based time-averaged EIRP = (DC / 100) * EIRP Where DC = Duty Cycle in %, as applicable EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power in W Page 9 of 15 UL VERIFICATION SERVICES INC.

Total EIRP = (EIRP1) + (EIRP2) + ... + (EIRPn) where EIRPx = Source-based time-averaged EIRP of chain x or transmitter x The total EIRP is then used to calculate the Power Density or the Distance as applicable. MIMO AND COLOCATED TRANSMITTERS (Different limits for Transmitter) For multiple colocated transmitters operating simultaneously in frequency bands where different limits apply: The Power Density at the specified separation distance is calculated for each transmitter chain or transmitter. The fraction of the exposure limit is calculated for each chain or transmitter as (Power Density of chain or transmitter) / (Limit applicable to that chain or transmitter). The fractions are summed. Compliance is established if the sum of the fractions is less than or equal to one. Page 10 of 15 UL VERIFICATION SERVICES INC.
