INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES EXHIBIT 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 1

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 1.0 General Description 1.1 Product Description The equipment under test (EUT) is a transmitter for a RC Car operating at 49.860 MHz which is controlled by a crystal. The EUT is powered by a 9V battery. The EUT has three buttons. The left button controls the RC Car to move forward or backward. The right button controls the RC Car to turn left or right. The button in the middle of the controller controls the RC Car to transform. The brief circuit description is saved with filename : descri.pdf 1.2 Related Submittal(s) Grants This is a single application for certification of a transmitter. The receiver for this transmitter is authorized by Certification procedure with FCC ID : PQN40155RX49. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 2

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 1.3 Test Methodology The radiated emission measurements were performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (1992). All measurements were performed in Open Area Test Sites. Preliminary scans were performed in the Open Area Test Sites only to determine worst case modes. For each scan, the procedure for maximizing emissions in Appendices D and E were followed. All Radiated tests were performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated otherwise in the "Justification Section" of this Application. 1.4 Test Facility The open area test site and conducted measurement facility used to collect the emission data is located at Garment Centre, 576 Castle Peak Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. This test facility and site measurement data have been fully placed on file with the FCC. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 3

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES EXHIBIT 2 SYSTEM TEST CONFIGURATION FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 4

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 2.0 System Test Configuration 2.1 Justification The system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer would normally use it), and in the confines as outlined in ANSI C63.4 (1992.) The EUT was powered by a new 9V battery during test. For maximizing emissions, the EUT was rotated through 360°, the antenna height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters above the ground plane, and the antenna polarization was changed. This step by step procedure for maximizing emissions led to the data reported in Exhibit 3.0. The unit was operated standalone and placed in the center of the turntable. The equipment under test (EUT) was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer would normally use it). The EUT was placed on a turn table, which enabled the engineer to maximize emissions through its placement in the three orthogonal axes. For simplicity of testing, the unit was wired to transmit continuously. 2.2 EUT Exercising Software There was no special software to exercise the device. 2.3 Special Accessories There are no special accessories necessary for compliance of this product. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 5

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 2.4 Equipment Modification Any modifications installed previous to testing by Spin Master Toys Far East Ltd. will be incorporated in each production model sold/leased in the United States. No modifications were installed by Intertek Testing Services. 2.5 Support Equipment List and Description This product was tested in a standalone configuration.

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES EXHIBIT 3 EMISSION RESULTS FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 7

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 3.0 Emission Results Data is included worst case configuration (the configuration which resulted in the highest emission levels). A sample calculation, configuration photographs and data tables of the emissions are included. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 8

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 3.1 Field Strength Calculation The field strength is calculated by adding the reading on the Spectrum Analyzer to the factors associated with preamplifiers (if any), antennas, cables, pulse desensitization and average factors (when specified limit is in average and measurements are made with peak detectors). A sample calculation is included below. FS = RA + AF + CF - AG + PD + AV where FS = Field Strength in dBµV/m RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBµV CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB AF = Antenna Factor in dB AG = Amplifier Gain in dB PD = Pulse Desensitization in dB AV = Average Factor in -dB In the radiated emission table which follows, the reading shown on the data table may reflect the preamplifier gain. An example of the calculations, where the reading does not reflect the preamplifier gain, follows: FS = RA + AF + CF - AG + PD + AV FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 9

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 3.1 Field Strength Calculation (cont’d) Example Assume a receiver reading of 62.0 dBµV is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 dB and cable factor of 1.6 dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB is subtracted. The pulse desensitization factor of the spectrum analyzer was 0 dB, and the resultant average factor was -10 dB. The net field strength for comparison to the appropriate emission limit is 32 dBµV/m. This value in dBµV/m was converted to its corresponding level in µV/m. RA = 62.0 dBµV AF = 7.4 dB CF = 1.6 dB AG = 29.0 dB PD = 0 dB AV = -10 dB FS = 62 + 7.4 + 1.6 - 29 + 0 + (-10) = 32 dBµV/m Level in mV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(32 dBµV/m)/20] = 39.8 µV/m FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 10

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.0 Miscellaneous Information This miscellaneous information includes details of the measured bandwidth, the test procedure and calculation of factors such as pulse desensitization and averaging factor. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 23

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.1 Measured Bandwidth The plot on saved in bw.pdf shows the fundamental emission is confined in the specified band. The field strength of any emission appearing between the band edges and up to 10kHz above and below the band edges (49.81 and 49.91 MHz) is at least 26 dB below the carrier level. And at 49.81 & 49.91 MHz, there are at least 38.0 dB below the carrier level. It meets requirement of Section 15.235(b). Figure 8.1 Bandwidth FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 24

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.2 Discussion of Pulse Desensitization The determination of pulse desensitivity was made in accordance with Hewlett Packard Application Note 150-2, Spectrum Analysis ... Pulsed RF. Pulse desensitivity was not applicable for this device. The effective period (Teff) was approximately 500.0 µs for a digital "1" bit, as shown in the plots of Exhibit 8.3. With a resolution bandwidth (3 dB) of 100 kHz, the pulse desensitivity factor was 0 dB. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 25

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.3 Calculation of Average Factor Averaging factor in dB = 20 log (duty cycle) The specification for output field strengths in accordance with the FCC rules specify measurements with an average detector. During testing, a spectrum analyzer incorporating a peak detector was used. Therefore, a reduction factor can be applied to the resultant peak signal level and compared to the limit for measurement instrumentation incorporating an average detector. The time period over which the duty cycle is measured is 100 milliseconds, or the repetition cycle, whichever is a shorter time frame. The worst case (highest percentage on) duty cycle is used for the calculation. The duty cycle is measured by placing the spectrum analyzer in zero scan (receiver mode) and linear mode at maximum bandwidth (3 MHz at 3 dB down) and viewing the resulting time domain signal output from the analyzer on a Tektronix oscilloscope. The oscilloscope is used because of its superior time base and triggering facilities. A plot of the worst-case duty cycle as detected in this manner are saved with filename: af.pdf The duty cycle is simply the on-time divided by the period: The duration of one cycle = 32.2 ms Effective period of the cycle = 1.5 ms x 8 + 500.0 µs x 8 = 16.0 ms DC = 16.0 ms / 32.2 ms = 0.49689 or 49.689% Therefore, the averaging factor is found by 20 log10 0.49689 = -6.1 dB FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 26

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.4 Emissions Test Procedures The following is a description of the test procedure used by Intertek Testing Services in the measurements of transmitters operating under Part 15, Subpart C rules. The test set-up and procedures described below are designed to meet the requirements of ANSI C63.4 - 1992. The transmitting equipment under test (EUT) is placed on a wooden turntable which is four feet in diameter and approximately one meter in height above the ground plane. During the radiated emissions test, the turntable is rotated and any cables leaving the EUT are manipulated to find the configuration resulting in maximum emissions. The wood is adjusted through all three orthogonal axes to obtain maximum emission levels. The antenna height and polarization are varied during the testing to search for maximum signal levels. Detector function for radiated emissions is in peak mode. Average readings, when required, are taken by measuring the duty cycle of the equipment under test and subtracting the corresponding amount in dB from the measured peak readings. A detailed description for the calculation of the average factor can be found in Exhibit 8.3. The frequency range scanned is from the lowest radio frequency signal generated in the device which is greater than 9 kHz to the tenth harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency or 40 GHz, whichever is lower. For line conducted emissions, the range scanned is 450 kHz to 30 MHz. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 27

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES 8.4 Emissions Test Procedures (cont'd) The EUT is warmed up for 15 minutes prior to the test. AC power to the unit is varied from 85% to 115% nominal and variation in the fundamental emission field strength is recorded. If battery powered, a new, fully charged battery is used. Conducted measurements are made as described in ANSI C63.4 - 1992. The IF bandwidth used for measurement of radiated signal strength was 100 kHz or greater below 1000 MHz. Where pulsed transmissions of short enough pulse duration warrant, a greater bandwidth is selected according to the recommendations of Hewlett Packard Application Note 150-2. A discussion of whether pulse desensitivity is applicable to this unit is included in this report (See Exhibit 8.2). Above 1000 MHz, a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz is used. Transmitter measurements are normally conducted at a measurement distance of three meters. However, to assure low enough noise floor in the restricted bands and above 1 GHz, signals are acquired at a distance of one meter or less. All measurements are extrapolated to three meters using inverse scaling, but those measurements taken at a closer distance are so marked. When determining the test result, the Measurement Uncertainty of the test has been considered. FCC ID: PQN40155TX49 28
