2.0          PRODUCT INFORMATION

 2.1         Equipment Description
 The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the LG Portable Handset FCC ID: ZNFH811. The data found in this test
 report was taken with the EUT operating in Bluetooth low energy mode. While in low energy mode, the
 Bluetooth transmitter hops pseudo-randomly between 40 channels, three of which are “advertising channels”.
 When the transmitter is hopping only between the three advertising channels, the EUT does not fall under the
 category of a “hopper” as defined in 15.247(a)(iii) which states that a “frequency hopping systems in the 2400–
 2483.5 MHz band shall use at least 15 channels.” As operation on only the advertising channels does not
 qualify the EUT as a hopper, the EUT is certified as a DTS device in this mode. The data found in this report is
 representative of the device when it transmits on its advertising channels. Typical Bluetooth operation is
 covered under the DSS report found with this application.

 2.2         Device Capabilities
 This device contains the following capabilities:

 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/1700/1900 WCDMA/HSPA, Multi-band LTE, 802.11b/g/n WLAN,
 802.11a/n/ac UNII, Bluetooth (1x, EDR, LE), NFC

 2.3         Test Configuration
 The LG Portable Handset FCC ID: ZNFH811 was tested per the guidance of KDB 558074 v03r02. ANSI
 C63.10-2009 was used to reference the appropriate EUT setup for radiated spurious emissions testing. See
 Section 3.2 for radiated emissions test setups

 This device supports wireless charging capability and, thus, is subject to the test requirements of KDB 648474
 D03 v01r02. Additional radiated spurious emission measurements were performed with the EUT lying flat on a
 certified wireless charging pad while operating under normal conditions in a simulated call or data
 transmission configuration. The worst case radiated emissions data is shown in this report.

 2.4         EMI Suppression Device(s)/Modifications

 No EMI suppression device(s) were added and/or no modifications were made during testing.

3.0          DESCRIPTION OF TEST

 3.1         Evaluation Procedure
 The measurement procedures described in the American National Standard for Testing Unlicensed Wireless
 Devices (ANSI C63.10-2009), and the guidance provided in KDB 558074 v03r02 were used in the
 measurement of the LG Portable Handset FCC ID: ZNFH811.

 Deviation from measurement procedure…………………………………………….....................................None

 3.2         Radiated Emissions
 The radiated test facilities consisted of an indoor 3 meter semi-anechoic chamber used for final measurements
 and exploratory measurements, when necessary. The measurement area is contained within the semi-
 anechoic chamber which is shielded from any ambient interference. The test site inside the chamber is a 6m x
 5.2m elliptical, obstruction-free area in accordance with Clause 5, Figure 5.7 of ANSI C63.4-2009. For
 measurements above 1GHz absorbers are arranged on the floor between the turn table and the antenna mast
 in such a way so as to maximize the reduction of reflections. For measurements below 1GHz, the absorbers
 are removed. An ETS Lindgren Model 2188 raised turntable is used for radiated measurement. It is a
 continuously rotatable, remote-controlled, metallic turntable and 2 meters (6.56 ft.) in diameter. The turn table
 is flush with the raised floor of the chamber in order to maintain its function as a ground plane. A 78cm high
 PVC support structure is placed on top of the turntable. A ¾” (~1.9cm) sheet of high density polyethylene is
 used as the table top and is placed on top of the PVC supports to bring the total height of the table to 80cm.

 For all measurements, the spectrum was scanned through all EUT azimuths and from 1 to 4 meter receive
 antenna height using a broadband antenna from 30MHz up to the upper frequency shown in 15.33(b)(1)
 depending on the highest frequency generated or used in the device or on which the device operates or tunes.
 For frequencies above 1GHz, linearly polarized double ridge horn antennas were used. For frequencies below
 30MHz, a calibrated loop antenna was used. When exploratory measurements were necessary, they were
 performed at 1 meter test distance inside the semi-anechoic chamber using broadband antennas, broadband
 amplifiers, and spectrum analyzers to determine the frequencies and modes producing the maximum
 emissions. Sufficient time for the EUT, support equipment, and test equipment was allowed in order for them
 to warm up to their normal operating condition. The test set-up was placed on top of the 0.8 meter high, 1 x
 1.5 meter table. The EUT, support equipment, and interconnecting cables were arranged and manipulated to
 maximize each emission. Appropriate precaution was taken to ensure that all emissions from the EUT were
 maximized and investigated. The system configuration, clock speed, mode of operation or video resolution, if
 applicable, turntable azimuth, and receive antenna height was noted for each frequency found.

 Final measurements were made in the semi-anechoic chamber using calibrated, linearly polarized broadband
 and horn antennas. The test setup was configured to the setup that produced the worst case emissions. The
 spectrum analyzer was set to investigate all frequencies required for testing to compare the highest radiated
 disturbances with respect to the specified limits. The turntable containing the EUT was rotated through 360
 degrees and the height of the receive antenna was varied 1 to 4 meters and stopped at the azimuth and height
 producing the maximum emission. Each emission was maximized by changing the orientation of the EUT
 through three orthogonal planes and changing the polarity of the receive antenna, whichever produced the
 worst-case emissions.

 3.3         Environmental Conditions
 The temperature is controlled within range of 15oC to 35oC. The relative humidity is controlled within range of
 10% to 75%. The atmospheric pressure is monitored within the range 86-106kPa (860-1060mbar).

4.0          ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS

 Excerpt from §15.203 of the FCC Rules/Regulations:
 “An intentional radiator antenna shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the
 responsible party can be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna
 that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the
 provisions of this section.”


         The antenna(s) of the Portable Handset are permanently attached.
         There are no provisions for connection to an external antenna.

 Conclusion:
 The LG Portable Handset FCC ID: ZNFH811 unit complies with the requirement of §15.203.

Test Notes

     1. The optional test procedures for antenna port conducted measurements of unwanted emissions per
           the guidance of KDB 558074 v03r02 were not used to evaluate this device for compliance to radiated
           limits. All radiated spurious emissions levels were measured in a radiated test setup.
     2. All emissions lying in restricted bands specified in §15.205 are below the limit shown in Table 6-5.
     3. The antenna is manipulated through typical positions, polarity and length during the tests. The EUT is
           manipulated through three orthogonal planes.

     4. This unit was tested with its standard battery.
     5. The spectrum is measured from 9kHz to the 10th harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the
           transmitter using CISPR quasi peak detector below 1GHz. Above 1 GHz, average and peak
           measurements were taken using linearly polarized horn antennas. The worst-case emissions are
           reported however emissions whose levels were not within 20dB of the respective limits were not
           reported.
     6. Average measurements were recorded using a VBW of 3kHz, per Section 12.2.4.3 of KDB 558074
           v03r02, since 1/T is equal to just under 3kHz. This method was used because the EUT could not be
           configured to operate with a duty cycle > 98%. Both average and peak measurements were made
           using a peak detector
     7. Emissions below 18GHz were measured at a 3 meter test distance while emissions above 18GHz
           were measured at a 1 meter test distance with the application of a distance correction factor.
     8. No significant radiated band edge emissions were found in the 2310 – 2390MHz restricted band.
     9. The wide spectrum spurious emissions plots shown on the following pages are used only for the
           purpose of emission identification. Any emissions found to be within 20dB of the limit are fully
           investigated and the results are shown in this section.

Sample Calculations

           Determining Spurious Emissions Levels

           o     Field Strength Level [dBV/m] = Analyzer Level [dBm] + 107 + AFCL [dB/m]
           o     AFCL [dB/m] = Antenna Factor [dB/m] + Cable Loss [dB]
           o      Margin [dB] = Field Strength Level [dBV/m] – Limit [dBV/m]

           Radiated Band Edge Measurement Offset

            o     The amplitude offset shown in the radiated restricted band edge plots in Section 6.8 was
                  calculated using the formula:
                  Offset (dB) = (Antenna Factor + Cable Loss + 10 dB Attenuator) – Preamplifier Gain

6.3        Radiated Restricted Band Edge Measurements
§15.205 §15.209

The radiated restricted band edge measurements are measured with an EMI test receiver connected to the
receive antenna while the EUT is transmitting.

The amplitude offset shown in the following plots for average measurements was calculated using the formula:

Offset (dB) = (Antenna Factor + Cable Loss + 10 dB Attenuator) – Preamplifier Gain

Note:
A channel integration method was used to determine compliance with the out of band average radiated
spurious emissions limit in the 2483.5 – 2500MHz band. Per KDB 558074 Section 13.3.3, a measurement was
performed using a RBW of 100kHz at the 2483.5MHz band edge. The results were integrated up to the 1MHz
reference bandwidth to show compliance with the 15.209 radiated limit for emissions greater than 1GHz.

           Plot 6-5. Radiated Restricted Upper Band Edge Measurement with WCP (Average)
Note:
A channel integration method was used to determine compliance with the out of band average radiated
spurious emissions limit in the 2483.5 – 2500MHz band. Per KDB 558074 Section 13.3.3, a measurement was
performed using a RBW of 100kHz at the 2483.5MHz band edge. The results were integrated up to the 1MHz
reference bandwidth to show compliance with the 15.209 radiated limit for emissions greater than 1GHz.

6.4        Radiated Spurious Emissions Measurements – Below 1GHz
§15.209

Test Overview and Limit

All out of band radiated spurious emissions are measured with a spectrum analyzer connected to a receive
antenna while the EUT is operating at its maximum duty cycle, at maximum power, and at the appropriate
frequencies. All data rates and modes were investigated for radiated spurious emissions. Only the radiated
emissions of the configuration that produced the worst case emissions are reported in this section.

All out of band emissions appearing in a restricted band as specified in Section 15.205 of the Title 47
CFR must not exceed the limits shown in Table 6-8 per Section 15.209.

Test Notes

     1. All emissions lying in restricted bands specified in §15.205 are below the limit shown in Table 6-10.
     2. The broadband receive antenna is manipulated through vertical and horizontal polarizations during the
           tests. The EUT is manipulated through three orthogonal planes.
     3. This unit was tested with its standard battery.
     4. The spectrum is investigated using a peak detector and final measurements are recorded using
           CISPR quasi peak detector. The worst-case emissions are reported however emissions whose levels
           were not within 20dB of the respective limits were not reported.
     5. Emissions were measured at a 3 meter test distance.
     6. Emissions are investigated while operating on the center channel of the mode, band, and modulation
           that produced the worst case results during the transmitter spurious emissions testing.
     7. No spurious emissions were detected within 20dB of the limit below 30MHz.
     8. The results recorded using the broadband antenna is known to correlate with the results obtained by
           using a tuned dipole with an acceptable degree of accuracy. The VSWR for the measurement antenna
           was found to be less than 2:1.
     9. The wide spectrum spurious emissions plots shown on the following pages are used only for the
           purpose of emission identification. There were no emissions detected in the 30MHz – 1GHz frequency
           range, as shown in the subsequent plots.
