FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 9. RF Exposure Information: The device is compliant with both MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) as well as SAR requirements (47CFR2.1093). Calculation for compliance with MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) is done using a worst-case transmitter power of 250 mW, assumption of a unity gain antenna, and an exposure limit of 0.6 mW/cm 2 (f/1500 mW/cm 2 at 20 cm per 47CFR1.1310) for general applications. This device is not carried or worn by the user. It has an extremely low duty cycle and a low rate of transmission that dramatically reduces the average power level that could pose an exposure hazard. The averaging interval specified in Table 1(B) of 47CFR1.1310 is 30 minutes. Every message round transmitted by the EN6040 is 22.4 msec long, including the preamble, and contains system status. Every hour up to 6 pagers may check in. The EN6040 will send a 2 round acknowledgment to each of these messages, 12 rounds in one hour. For the purposes of this calculation, it is assumed that 10 rounds will be sent in a 30-minute period. A round is 22.4 ms in length. The worst-case average power density at a distance of 20 cm is then, 223 189.6 )20(4 1 1060 min14.22 min30 10 250 cm nW cmms rounds msrounds mW=× × ××× π This is well below the 0.6 mW/cm 2 MPE limit. Calculation for compliance with SAR requirements (47CFR2.1093) is done using a worst-case transmitter power of 250 mW time-averaged by the duty cycle of the transmitter, and the assumption that all RF energy could be absorbed in 1 gram of tissue. The peak exposure limit is 1.6 mW/g (equivalent to 1.6 W/kg per 47CFR2.1093) in any 1 gram of tissue for General Population/Uncontrolled applications.

Testing was performed in 3 different orthogonal axis to determine the worst case emissions from the device. The worst case emissions measurements are shown in this report. FCC CFR47 Part 15.31: Measurement Standards: In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. FCC CFR47 Part 15.35: Measurement Detector Functions and Bandwidths: FCC Part 15.35 was utilized when performing the measurements within this report. In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was verified per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. The actual test distance for the FCC Part 15.209 testing was conducted at 10m for the fact that the device was being tested to EN55022 Class B from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz (meets/exceeds the FCC Part 15.209 & 109B limits) The data is automatically extrapolated back to the FCC 3m limits and measurements are corrected to better show the compliance to FCC requirements and reduce confusion. A correction factor of 10.54dB is used in cases of 30MHz and up for a difference between 10m and 3m measurement distances. All measurements that are lesser than 30MHz where applicable are accompanied with the fall of measurements and calculations to support the interpolation. Modifications required to pass: Test Specification Deviations: Additions to or Exclusions from This test report is in-part, International Approvals Laboratories, LLC was asked to test only the field strength of the fundamental and harmonics as well as the unintentional radiated and conducted emissions when applicable. The power supply shown in the photographs of this report are not shipped with or sold as an option for this unit. This unit operates on a DC voltage and does not connect to the AC public mains.

FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 11. Test Report The test report containing intentional/unintentional emissions data is attached as “BC400278d-1 EN6040.pdf”. International Approvals Laboratories generated this report. Additional data demonstrating compliance with 47CFR15.247 follows. For the following measurements, the antenna was replaced by a coaxial connection to an HP8594E spectrum analyzer. Minimum Channel Separation: Plot 1 is a spectrum plot showing a minimum channel separation of 812 kHz. Compliance with section 15.247(a)(1) is demonstrated by capturing several transmissions over a small portion of the 902-928 MHz ISM band. Plot 1: Demonstration of channel spacing requirement. FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 Number of hopping Channels: Plot 2 demonstrates compliance with 15.247(a)(1)(i) — Number of hopping channels. This is a stored display of many sequential transmissions to show the overall band occupied by the transmitter. The marker at 916.00 MHz represents the maximum conducted transmitter power across the band. Plot 2: Demonstration of 25 hopping channels. 20 dB bandwidth of a single channel: Plot 3 shows the 20 dB bandwidth of a single channel to demonstrate compliance with 15.247(a)(1)(i). The 20 dB occupied bandwidth is 255.0 kHz. Plot 3: Demonstration of occupied bandwidth. FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 Average radiated measurements for harmonic and spurious emissions: With regards to average radiated measurements for harmonic and spurious emissions that fall in the restricted bands of section 15.205 of the FCC Rules. This device uses pulsed operation, section 15.35(c) states, “Unless otherwise specified, e.g.§ 15.255(b), when the radiated emission limits are expressed in terms of the average value of the emission, and pulsed operation is employed, the measurement field strength shall be determined by averaging over one complete pulse train, including blanking intervals, as long as the pulse train does not exceed 0.1 seconds.” This device transmits for 22.4ms out of every 100ms and therefore has a duty cycle of 22.4%. Per section 15.35 the peak harmonic and spurious emissions may exceed the General Radiation Limit found in 15.209(a) by the ratio of the duty cycle, which in this case results in a 13 dB relaxation of the limit from 54 dB μV/m to 67 dB μV/m (above 1000 MHz) for the peak measurements shown in the report. Peak conducted RF power output measurements: Pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 00-705, the following measurements were made using an Agilent 8594E spectrum analyzer having the following settings: Span: 1250 kHz (approximately 5 times the 20dB bandwidth) RBW: 300 kHz (RBW > the 20dB bandwidth) VBW: 300 kHz (VWB ≥ RBW) Sweep: auto Detector: peak Trace: max hold The device is modified so that the antenna is removed and a 3” semi-rigid coaxial cable having negligible insertion loss connects it to the spectrum analyzer. Please note that the device is designed to have an output power of +23dBm however a variation of +1, -2dB is anticipated. FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 Plot 4: RF output at the low channel Plot 5: RF output at the middle channel FCC ID: HCQ3B6ECNCU EN6040 Plot 6: RF output at the high channel Conducted spurious and harmonic emissions measurements: There is no way to measure conducted spurious and harmonic emissions without altering the device. The device was taken to an accredited and listed lab, International Approvals Laboratories, and the relevant radiated measurements were taken using their 3-meter Open-Air Test Site. Average time of occupancy measurement: Section 15.247(a)(1)(i) stated, “...if the 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 250kHz or greater, the system shall use at least 25 hopping frequencies and the average time of occupancy on any frequency shall not be greater than 0.4 seconds within a 10 second period” To effectively obtain this measurement, FCC Public Notice DA 00-705 requires the following spectrum analyzer settings: Span: 0 RBW: 1MHz VBW: 1MHz (VBW ≥ RBW) Sweep: 60ms (as necessary to capture the entire dwell time per hopping channel) Detector: peak Trace: max hold Plot 6 below clearly shows the dwell time is less than the 0.4 seconds required by 15.247(a)(1)(i).
