Page 8 of 26 Report Number: M171220-1aR1 FCC ID: M5VG02606 3.0 TEST RESULTS 3.1 §15.203 Antenna Requirement The connector for the antenna was a unique type ensuring that only the intended antennas could be used. 3.2 §15.207 Conducted Limits 3.2.1 Test Procedure The arrangement specified in ANSI C63.10: 2013 was adhered to for the conducted EMI measurements. The EUT was placed in the RF screened enclosure and a CISPR EMI Receiver as defined in ANSI C63.2: 2009 was used to perform the measurements. The EMI Receiver was operated under program control using the Max-Hold function and automatic frequency scanning, measurement and data logging techniques. The specified 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz frequency range was sub-divided into sub-ranges to ensure that all short duration peaks were captured. 3.2.2 Peak Maximising Procedure The various operating modes of the system were investigated. For each of the sub-ranges, the EMI receiver was set to continuous scan with the Peak detector set to Max-Hold mode. The Quasi-Peak detector and the Average detector were then invoked to measure the actual Quasi- Peak and Average level of the most significant peaks, which were detected. 3.2.3 Calculation of Voltage Levels The voltage levels were automatically measured in software and compared to the test limit. The method of calculation was as follows: VEMI = VRx + L Where: VEMI = The Measured EMI voltage in dBµV to be compared to the limit. VRx = The Voltage in dBµV read directly at the EMI receiver. L = The insertion loss in dB of the LISN, cables and transient Limiter. 3.2.4 Plotting of Conducted Emission Measurement Data The measurement data pertaining to each frequency sub-range were concatenated to form a single graph of (peak) amplitude versus frequency. This was performed for both Active and Neutral lines and the composite graph was subsequently plotted. A list of the highest relevant peaks and the respective Quasi-Peak and Average values were also plotted on the graph. 3.2.5 Test Climatic Conditions Shielded Room Temperature: 23C Relative Humidity: 52% Accredited for compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 - Testing.

Page 12 of 26 Report Number: M171220-1aR1 FCC ID: M5VG02606 3.5.2 Radiated Spurious Measurements Radiated spurious emission measurements were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber compliant with ANSI C63.4: 2014. The test frequency range was sub-divided into smaller bands with sufficient frequency resolution to permit reliable display and identification of emissions. Measurement Measurement Frequency range Bandwidth Distance Antenna [MHz] [kHz] [m] 0.009 to 0.150 0.2 10 0.6 metre loop antenna 0.150 to 30 9 10 30 to 1000 120 10 Biconilog hybrid 1000 to 18 000 1000 3 Standard gain or broad 18 000 to 40 000 1000 1 band horns The sample was slowly rotated with the spectrum analyser set to Max-Hold. This was performed for at least two antenna heights. When an emission was located, it was positively identified and its maximum level found by rotating the automated turntable and by varying the antenna height. Devices design for a fixed position were tested in that position, portable devices were tested in three orthogonal orientations. The measurement data for each frequency range was corrected for cable losses, antenna factors and preamplifier gain. This process was performed for both horizontal and vertical antenna polarisations. Calculation of field strength The field strength was calculated automatically by the software using the pre-stored calibration data. The method of calculation is shown below: 𝑬 = 𝑽 + 𝑨𝑭 − 𝑮 + 𝑳 Where: E = Radiated Field Strength in dBµV/m. V = EMI Receiver Voltage in dBµV/m. AF = Antenna Factor in dB. (stored as a data array) G = Preamplifier Gain in dB. (stored as a data array) L = Cable loss in dB. (stored as a data array of Insertion Loss versus frequency) Field strength conversion over distance To convert a limit given at a certain distance to a limit at the measurement distance or vice- versa the following equation was applied: 𝑬𝒚 ⁄ 𝒅𝒚 × 𝟏𝟎 𝟐𝟎 𝑬𝒙 = 𝟐𝟎 × 𝐥𝐨𝐠 ( ) 𝒅𝒙 Where: Ex = Electric field at x metres (dBµV/m) Ey = Electric field at y metres (dBµV/m) dx = Measurement distance of x metres dy = Measurement distance of y metres 3.5.3 Spurious Emission Limit The EUT emissions were subjected to 15.209 limits over the 9 kHz to 30 MHz range and 15.109 Class A limit over the 30 MHz to 6 GHz range pursuant to 15.31(k) as the device was considered a Class A unintentional radiator.

Page 18 of 26 Report Number: M171220-1aR1 FCC ID: M5VG02606 Frequency Band: 30 - 1000 MHz Measurements were made at a distance of 10 metres for antenna type 1 and 3 metres for antenna type 2. The measurements of emissions between 30 - 1000 MHz were made with a resolution bandwidth (RBW) of 120 kHz and the video bandwidth (VBW) of 300 kHz. While digital emissions were evaluated according to 15.109 class A from 30-1000 MHz, transmitter related emissions were evaluated according to 15.209 up to 172 MHz i.e. the 10th harmonic of the highest frequency 17.1776 MHz used in the transmitter circuits. There were no emissions measured in relation to the transmitter circuits for Antenna type 1.
