Test Methodology Both conducted and radiated testing were performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4-2003 FCC Part 15 Subpart B and C. Radiated testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 10 meters. During testing, all equipment’s and cables were moved relative to each other in order to identify the worst case set-up. 1.5. Test facility Tests have been performed from February 11th to 14th, 2014. This test facility has been fully described in a report and accepted by FCC as compliant with the radiated and AC line conducted test site criteria in ANSI C63.4-2003 in a letter dated March 25 th , 2008 (registration number 94821). This test facility has also been accredited by COFRAC (French accreditation authority for European Union test lab accreditation organization) according to NF EN ISO/IEC 17025, accreditation number 1-1633 as compliant with test site criteria and competence in 47 CFR Part 15/ANSI C63.4 and EN55022/CISPR22 norms for 89/336/EEC European EMC Directive application. All pertinent data for this test facility remains unchanged.

RF Exposure Considerations for FCC ID: 2ABXUBLEM003 Per FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05 The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by (Eq.1) below: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] * [√f(GHz)] If result of Eq.1 is less than or equal to the exemption limits below, then corresponding SAR test is not required. SAR Test Configuration Exemption limit 1-g SAR Result of Eq.1 ≤ 3.0 10-g extremity SAR Result of Eq.1 ≤ 7.5 where; f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz. Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation. The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison. The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. For our device, the parameters for consideration are as follows: Channel Frequency (GHz) Maximum source-based time averaged conducted output power including tune-up tolerance (mW) Minimum separation distance (mm) Result of Eq. 1 Limit for 1-g SAR Limit for 10-g extremity SAR Verdict 02.4021.5 5 0.46 37.5 Exempt from SAR 202.4421.6 5 0.50 37.5 Exempt from SAR 392.481.9 5 0.60 37.5 Exempt from SAR Conclusion: Therefore our device complies with FCC’s RF radiation exposure limits for general population without SAR evaluation.
