The EUT is the Boundary System Transmitter, Model 300-741. The transmitter is a component of the complete containment system for pets which also includes a receiver and a handheld programmer. The Transmitter sends a radio signal 90 feet in all directions. The Boundary Programming Unit is used to collect boundary data information and then program this boundary information to the Receiver Collar. The pet wears the receiver collar. The receiver collar emits a warning tone or a harmless static correction if the pet attempts to leave the programmed boundary area. The EUT operates at one of two frequencies, 27.30 kHz or 27.72 kHz, which can be selected by operator. The EUT uses BPSK modulation at a maximum rate of 30 Hz. Page 5 of 17

The EUT was in a constant-transmit state for testing. 2.5 Test Procedure The EUT was configured as shown in the following block diagram(s) and photograph(s). The Test Sample was tested per ANSI C63.4, Methods of Measurement of Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (2003) paragraph 7 for conducted emissions and paragraph 8 for radiated emissions. Conducted and radiated emissions data were taken with the test receiver or spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth adjusted to 9 kHz and 120 kHz, respectively. All measurements are peak unless stated otherwise. The video filter on the spectrum analyzer was OFF throughout the evaluation process. Interconnecting cables were manipulated as necessary to maximize emissions. The EUT and Peripherals Table describe other instruments and accessories used to evaluate this product. For radiated measurements in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 30 MHz a calibrated loop antenna was used. Radiated emissions disturbance measurements were performed with an instrument having both peak and quasi-peak detectors over the frequency range of 9 kHz to 1000 MHz. Measurements of the radiated emissions were made with the receiver antenna at distance of 3 m from the boundary of the test unit. If measurements were made at 1 m the data was extrapolated back to 3 m using an extrapolation factor of -9.5 dB. For measurements from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, the test antenna was varied from 1 m to 4 m in height while watching the analyzers’ display for the maximum magnitude of the signal at the test frequency. The antenna polarization (horizontal or vertical) and test sample azimuth were varied during the measurements to find the maximum field strength readings to record. Page 10 of 17

Power for the shielded room is filtered (Lectroline, EMX-1020-2, rated 125/250 V, 20 A, 50/60 Hz). A nonconductive table 1.5 m deep by 1.0 m wide by 0.8 m high is used for tabletop equipment. All grounded conducting surfaces including the case or cases of one or more artificial mains networks is at least 0.8 m from any surface of the EUT. The artificial mains networks, Figure 3, items A, are Solar Electronics models 8012, 8028, or 9247. Figure 2. Conducted Emissions Disturbance Measurement Facility Page 11 of 17

The galvanized wire hardware cloth is constructed of 23 gauge galvanized wire with a 0.6 cm mesh and a width of 122.0 cm. The hardware cloth is electrically connected by solder (Kester "44" Rosin Core, Flux "44", Alloy, SN60PB40, Cat. # 26-6040-0066, Core # 66) at 30 cm intervals. The test facility layout is shown in the figure below. A remotely controlled 3.0 m diameter flush-mounted turntable is provided for rotating (through at least 360 degrees) the EUT. A nonconductive table, 1.5 m long by 1.0 m wide by 0.8 m high is used in conjunction with the turntable for tabletop equipment. Electrical service for the EUT is provided through openings at the center of the turntable. Provision for receiving antenna power and data wires is provided by junction boxes (radiated interference facility diagram, item A) at 3 m and 10 m from the center of the turntable. The receive antenna mast is remotely controlled and can be varied in height from 1 m to 4 m. All power and data cables for the radiated disturbance measurement facility are ran through PVC tubing under the concrete pad or are laid directly upon the ground plane. Page 13 of 17
