Standard Test Conditions and Engineering Practices Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing: In accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992/2000, section 6.1.9, and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104 °F) unless the particular equipment requirements specify testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity. Prior to testing, the EUT was tuned up in accordance with the manufacturer's alignment procedures. All external gain controls were maintained at the position of maximum and/or optimum gain throughout the testing. Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements.

Name of Test: Environmental Assessment Specification: FCC: 47 CFR 1.1310 Measurement Guide: ANSI/IEEE C95.1 1992 Test Equipment: Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) measurement system, consisting of: Narda 8717-1174R, Radiation meter Narda 8761D, E-field probe (300 kHz – 3 GHz) (Calibrated Nov-98) Measurement Procedure: 1. The following measurements were performed with a Narda probe using ANSI/IEEE C95.1 as a guide. 2. Prior to making any measurements, the measurements system was calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures. 3. The EUT’s radiating element (antenna) was placed on a 1 m tall table for ease of testing. For equipment normally operated on a metal surface, a ground plane was used. 4. The remaining equipment necessary to operate the EUT was maintained at a distance from the measurement arrangement suitable to minimize interference with the measurements. 5. The minimum safe distance was calculated from the formula Power Density = EIRP / 4πR 2 (Peak Watts/m 2 ). The calculation is shown with the measurement data. 6. With the EUT operating at maximum power, a search was initiated for worst case emissions with the probe raised and lowered over a range of 0.2 to 2 meters in height and over a horizontal plane of 0 o to 360 o . 7. Average values were calculated for the whole body (0.2- 2.0m), lower body (0.2-0.8m) and upper body (1.0-2.0m). Results: Attached. MFA p03b0004, d03b0031 FCC ID: PKRNVWFB2C Page Number 6 of 7.

The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 15.27(a) Special Accessories. Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without additional charge. Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment. MFA p03b0004, d03b0029 FCC ID: PKRNVWFB2C Table of Contents Rule Description Page .
