4. Operation and Monitoring of the EUT during Testing
4.1. Operating Modes
The EUT was tested in the following operating mode(s):
    •    Constantly transmitting at full power on bottom, middle and top channels as required.


4.2. Configuration and Peripherals
The EUT was tested in the following configuration(s):
    •    The sample with serial number 50242Z00083 was used for conducted power measurements.
    •    The EUT was placed into test mode via HyperTerminal, using instruction set as supplied by the
         customer. This then enabled the EUT to be set to transmit at full power on bottom, middle and top
         channels.

6. Measurement Uncertainty
No measurement or test can ever be perfect and the imperfections give rise to error of measurement in the
results. Consequently the result of a measurement is only an approximation to the value of the measurand
(the specific quantity subject to measurement) and is only complete when accompanied by a statement of
the uncertainty of the approximation.
The expression of uncertainty of a measurement result allows realistic comparison of results with reference
values and limits given in specifications and standards.
The uncertainty of the result may need to be taken into account when interpreting the measurement results.
The reported expanded uncertainties below are based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by an appropriate
coverage factor such that a confidence level of approximately 95% is maintained. For the purposes of this
document “approximately” is interpreted as meaning “effectively” or “for most practical purposes”.

                                                                            Confidence         Calculated
Measurement Type             Range
                                                                            Level (%)          Uncertainty
Conducted Output Power       824 to 849 MHz & 1850 to 1910 MHz              95%                ±0.27 dB

The methods used to calculate the above uncertainties are in line with those recommended within the
various measurement specifications. Where measurement specifications do not include guidelines for the
evaluation of measurement uncertainty the published guidance of the appropriate accreditation body is
followed.
