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.

3.1.1 Test Limits
For the 850MHz band, FCC §22.913 states that the maximum ERP of this device shall not exceed 7 Watts. IC
SRSP-503 Issue 7, states that this device shall not exceed a maximum EIRP of 11.5 Watts
For the purposes of this test report, the 7 Watt ERP limit stipulated in FCC §22.913 has been converted to an
equivalent ERIP value of 11.5 Watts.
For all other limits, refer to the values stipulated in the corresponding tables.

3.3 RF Exposure Evaluation for multiple transmitters in co-location

3.3.1 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
according to 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.


3.3.2 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.
4. Hypothetical Bluetooth radio is assumed to have an output power of 9.5dBm and an antenna gain of 4dBi.
5. Hypothetical WLAN radio is assumed to have an output power of 19dBm and an antenna gain of 5dBi.

3.3.3 Test Protocol
The below table is to determine the MPE values using the maximum gain values obtained in below. These
values are informational only.
