All radiated emissions measurements were performed on an Open Area Test Site (OATS), listed with the FCC, in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(d). 2. All measurements were performed at test distance specified on each data sheet. 3. The EUT was rotated throughout 360 degrees for all radiated emissions measurements as specified in FCC Section 15.31(f)(5). 4. All readily accessible EUT controls were adjusted in such a manner as to maximize the level of emissions in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(g). 5. In accordance with Checkpoint Systems, Inc. appropriate accessories were attached to all EUT ports during the performance of radiated emissions measurements as required by FCC Section 15.31(i). 6. The frequency spectrum was investigated from the lowest frequency generated in the device up to at least the 10 th harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency in accordance with FCC Section 15.33(a)(1). 7. All measurements were taken with a peak detector function as specified in FCC Section 15.35(a). The duty cycle, calculated in accordance with FCC Section 15.35(c), was applied to the peak readings in order to obtain the average value of emissions. The peak value of emissions was verified to meet the 20 dB requirement of FCC Section 15.35(b). Report No. R-3295P-2, Rev.
