The applicant has been cautioned as to the following


15.21 - Information to User

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.27(a) - Special Accessories

Equipment marked to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in
which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are
required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment
must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging
the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of
ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer without an additional charge.

Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization
or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of
this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such
devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that
these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special
accessories supplied with the equipment.

Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices

Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing:

In accordance with ANSI C63.10-2013 and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient
temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F) unless the particular
equipment requirements specified testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the
humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity.

Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements.

Peak Output Power
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 2/3/17

                                                  Test Procedure

The EUT was connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

RBW = 1-5% of the OBW, not to exceed 1MHz
VBW ≥ 3 x RBW
RMS Detector
Number of points in sweep ≥ 2 x span / RBW
Trace average at least 100 traces in power averaging mode
Sweep = auto
Span = 1.5 x EBW


The EUT was set to transmit on the lowest, middle and highest frequencies at the maximum power level. The RF output
power was measured using the spectrum analyzer’s channel power function

Conducted Spurious Emission
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 2/3/2017

                                                     Test Procedure

The EUT was connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

RBW = 100 kHz
VBW ≥ 3 x RBW
Peak Detector
Trace mode = max hold
Sweep = auto couple
                            th
Frequency Range = 30MHz – 10 Harmonic of the fundamental

The EUT was set to transmit on the lowest, middle and highest frequencies at the maximum power level. The trace was
allowed to stabilize. All emission were investigated to insure they were attenuated from the peak fundamental by at least
20dB. If the average power levels were measured then the out-of-band emissions needed to be attenuated by 30dB. In
addition emissions were investigated at the band edges to insure all out-of-band emissions were attenuated 20 or 30dB
as necessary

                                                    Test Procedure
                                      Radiated Spurious Emissions: 30 – 1000 MHz

The EUT was setup in a semi-anechoic test chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna. The output of the transmitter was
connected to a non-radiating balance load. The EUT was set to transmit on the lowest, middle and highest frequencies at the
maximum power level. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Emissions.
The EUT was tested by rotating it 360 with the antennas in both the vertical and horizontal orientation and was raised from 1
to 4 meters to ensure the TX signal levels were maximized.

All emissions from 30 MHz to 1 GHz were examined.
Measured Level includes antenna and receiver cable correction factors.
Correction factors were input into the spectrum analyzer before recording “Measured Level”.

                                                    Test Procedure

The EUT was connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

RBW = 100 kHz
VBW ≥ 3 x RBW
Peak Detector
Trace mode = max hold
Sweep = auto couple
Span = 1.5 x EBW

The EUT was set to transmit at the lowest, middle and highest channels of the band at the maximum power levels. The
maximum width of the emission that was determined by the frequencies associated with the two outermost amplitude
points (upper and lower frequencies) that were attenuated by 6db and this value was used to determine the width of the
carrier. Alternatively the spectrum analyzer’s automatic bandwidth capability was used.
