Test Report for ThingMagic, A division of Trimble  Report No. EP1633-1 September 4, 2015 ______________________________________________________________________ Summary This report details the partial testing of the M6e-NANO board (with existing FCC ID:QV5MERCURY6EN and IC:5407A-MERCURY6EN) with the following modifications: The channel plan was changed to space 51 channels (formerly 50 channels), with a narrower spacing of 100 kHz instead of the original 200 kHz. Per client, this is only a software change of the frequency and the end user cannot switch between channel plans. Original (MHz) Channel spacing is 200 KHz 917.4,917.6,917.8,918,918.2,918.4,918.6,918.8,919,919.2,919.4,919.6,919 .8,920,920.2,920.4,920.6,920.8,921,921.2,921.4,921.6,921.8,922,922.2,92 2.4,922.6,922.8,923,923.2,923.4,923.6,923.8,924,924.2,924.4,924.6,924.8, 925,925.2,925.4,925.6,925.8,926,926.2,926.4,926.6,926.8,927,927.2 New (MHz) Channel spacing is 100 Hz 917.5, 917.6, 917.7, 917.8, 917.9, 918, 918.1, 918.2, 918.3, 918.4, 918.5, 918.6, 918.7, 918.8, 918.9, 919, 919.1, 919.2, 919.3, 919.4, 919.5, 919.6, 919.7, 919.8, 919.9, 920, 920.1, 920.2, 920.3, 920.4, 920.5, 920.6, 920.7, 920.8, 920.9, 921, 921.1, 921.2, 921.3, 921.4, 921.5, 921.6, 921.7, 921.8, 921.9, 922, 922.1, 922.2, 922.3, 922.4, 922.5 Three transmitter tests were done to evaluate the above modifications: Number of Channels, Peak Output Power, and Frequency Separation. We found the product to be compliant with FCC part 15.247 and RSS-247 for the above tests. Testing of the original channel plan was previously performed under report EP0016-1. John Carrick from ThingMagic, A division of Trimble was present during testing. The test sample was received in good condition.

These labelling requirements are: • One of three compliance statements specified in Section 15.19(a); • If the device is subject only to Verification include a label bearing a unique identifier - Section 2.954; • If the device is subject to Certification (1) Section 2.925 contains information on identification of the equipment; (2) include a label bearing an FCC Identifier (FCC ID) - Section 2.926. If the labeling area for the device is so small, and / or it is not practical to place the required statement on the device, then the statement can be placed in the user manual or product packaging - Section 15.19(a)(5). Generally, devices smaller than the palm of the hand are considered small. However, the device must still be labeled with the unique identifier (Verification) or the FCC ID (Certification).

Test Report for ThingMagic, A division of Trimble  Report No. EP1633-1 September 4, 2015 ______________________________________________________________________ The labeling requirements for a device subject to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) procedure are specified in Section 15.19(b). The label should include the FCC logo along with the Trade Name and Model Number, which satisfies the unique identifier requirement of Section 2.1074 if it represents the identical equipment tested for DoC compliance. For personal computers assembled from authorized components, the following additional text must also be included: “Assembled from tested components,” “Complete system not tested.” When the device is so small and / or when it is not practical to place the required additional text on the device, the text may be placed in the user manual or pamphlet supplied to the user. However, the FCC logo, Trade Name, and Model Number must still be displayed on the device - Section 15.19(b)(3). Part 15 Declaration of Conformity (DoC) Label Examples FCC Required Instruction Manual Inserts CFR 47 Part 15.21 and 15.105 Section 15.21 requires that in the user manual, the user shall be cautioned that changes / modifications not approved by the responsible party could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The acceptable formats for user information dissemination are paper, computer disk or over the Internet. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors, are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device (Section 15.27(a)). For a Class A or Class B digital device (unintentional radiator), as well as any composite device that is both an intentional and unintentional radiator, the text specified in Section 15.105 must be placed in the user manual. Devices authorized under the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) procedure must also include a compliance information statement (in the user manual or on a separate sheet) as required by Section 2.1077. The objective of this compliance statement is to allow the FCC to associate the equipment with the party responsible for compliance with the DoC requirements. Devices certified as software defined radio that use an electronic labeling method to display the FCC ID must provide instructions in the user manual on how to access the electronic display (Section 2.925(e)). Additional statements and information may be required for compliance to specific or general rule parts. The following is an example of some additional user information requirements. The party responsible for compliance must provide any additional statement(s) required. • Kits - TV interface and Cable system terminal device marketed as Kits: Section 15.25 (d); • TV interface devices, including cable system terminal devices: Section 15.115 (c) (5); • Labeling of digital cable ready products: Section 15.123 - use of the term cable ready/compatible; _____________________________________________________________ Curtis-Straus LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BV CPS One Distribution Center Circle, #1  Littleton, MA  TEL (978) 486-8880  FAX (978) 486-8828 page 16 of 19
