The applicant has been cautioned as to the following: 15.21 Information to User. The users 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 marketed 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 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. Flom Test Lab 3356 N.

Sub-part 2.1033(b): Test And Measurement Data All tests and measurement data shown were performed in accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, Volume II; Part 2 and the following individual Parts: 15.107, 15.109; Unintentional Radiators Standard Test Conditions and Engineering Practices Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing: In accordance with ANSI C63.4-2004, 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 specify testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity. Prior to testing, the EUT was tuned up in accordance with the manufacturer's alignment procedures. All external gain controls were maintained at the position of maximum and/or optimum gain throughout the testing. Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements.

Name of Test: Radiated Emissions Specification: 15.109 Engineer: J Erhard Test Equipment Utilized i00049, i00088, i00089 Test Date: 4/16/2009 Test Procedure The UUT was tested in an Open Area Test Site (OATS) set 3m from the receiving antenna. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the UUT met the requirements for Radiated Emissions. The UUT was tested by rotating it 360° with the antennas in both the vertical and horizontal orientation and raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure the TX signal levels were maximized. All emissions from 30 MHz to 1 GHz were examined.
