2.3 Ancillary Equipment

For the purposes of this test report, ancillary equipment is defined as equipment which is used in conjunction
with the EUT to provide operational and control features to the EUT. It is necessary to configure the system in a
typical fashion, as a customer would normally use it. But nevertheless Ancillary Equipment can influence the
test results.

2.4 Auxiliary Equipment

For the purposes of this test report, auxiliary equipment is defined as equipment which is used temporarily to
enable operational and control features especially used for the tests of the EUT which is not used during
normal operation or equipment that is used during the tests in combination with the EUT but is not subject of
this test report. It is necessary to configure the system in a typical fashion, as a customer would normally use it.
But nevertheless Auxiliary Equipment can influence the test results.

3.2.1 Co-Location Considerations
The calculation below is used to consider situations in which simultaneous exposure to fields of different
frequencies occur. The calculation is performed by the sum of each relative exposure for each equipment per
the following criteria.



Where:
Seq is the power density of the electromagnetic field at a given distance by a specific transmitter and a defined
frequency.
Slin is the MPE limit for the frequency being evaluated.


3.2.2 Assumptions

1. Primary transmitter does not support power reduction for multiple time slots on the uplink.
2. Antenna separation from module to human body is ≥ 20cm.
3. Separation distance between co-located transmitting antennas is 0cm.

Conclusion

 The calculations above demonstrate that the highest calculated power density for the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5
 GHz Wi-Fi in combination with the highest calculated Bluetooth Power density are under the limits for
 General Population/Uncontrolled exposure. Thus, it can be concluded that all other modes, data rates
 and channel combinations supported by this device are also under these limits.
