Is Full Modular Approval sought for the EUT? Or Limited Modular Approval? Î Full Modular Approval is sought for the EUT. Please proceed to have Full modular approval 2. If Modular Approval is sought, please submit a checklist detailing compliance with the 8 requirements of Section 15.212(a)(1) (a similar checklist, for a different FCC ID, was apparently submitted with this application?). Î Plese see the attached file : (Transmitter module approval(A3LDNUBS1) 3. The RFx warning statement in the user’s Regulatory Information must warn the user that, in order to comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements, the EUT must be installed and used such that a minimum 20 cm spacing is maintained between the antenna and all persons during normal use. Please revise and resubmit. Î Please see the attached file : (DNUB-S1_User manual) 4. Please submit a copy of the test lab’s ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation showing its capability to perform Section 15.247 testing. Î Accoring to Kolas certification, the Accredited Lap is containing all equipments for reasonable test, but the Test Lap doesn't have Antenna for 10th harmonic detects for 2.4GHz. When we need to test that frequency, we rent the antenna. In this Audio amplifier we check every frequency, required from FCC Standard, no frequency over 5th Harmonic frequency was detected you can find ISO/IEC 17025 Scope at 7,9 page on attached Kolas lap certification 5. The following tests were performed incorrectly: 6 dB bandwidth; Power Spectral Density; Spurious RF Conducted Emissions; and Bandedge Emissions. An average detector was used, while the FCC test procedure requires a peak detector for each of these tests. Please re-perform these tests using a peak detector and submit new data. Î I have attached the revised test report ‘ DNUB-S1_Part 15 report_rev 02.pdf ’ as your request.
