For measurements below 960 MHz the emissions were made using a PEAK detector RBW=VBW=100 kHz For Frequency above 960 MHz and outside the below frequency bands, the emissions were measured using RMS detector, RBW=1MHz, VBW=3MHz For frequencies fall inside 1164-1240 and 1559-1610 MHz, the emissions were measured using EMI RMS Detector, RBW = 1 KHz, VBW = 1 MHz Note: The above tests were performed with the EUT in contact with the ground as its intended use. The EUT was tested in 8 positions (every 45°) Test Results: Complies Measurement Data: See attached table(s). Nemko USA, Inc.
