GENERAL DESCRIPTION

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES
FCC ID: AAO120495 2
1.0 General Description
1.1 Product Description
This EUT is a FM Transmitter with scanning function connects to iPod Player.
The main function is used to transmit the music stored in yours iPod Player
that can be receiving it by yours radio. It is powered by a cigarette adaptor.
The blue backlight will be lighted while plug into the cigarette lighter jack of
your car. Press and hold the auto-scan button that below the LED panel, it
can search for the clear channel to eliminate interference from broadcast
radio channels that are used. The transmitting frequency covers the complete
FM band from 88.1 to 107.9MHz in 0.2MHz step (i.e. 88.1MHz, 88.3MHz,
88.5MHz and so on). The transmitting frequency is shown on the LED panel.
There is three buttons on the right hand side of the unit, press button ‘M1/up’
or ‘M2/down’ to scroll to the desired FM frequency, ‘M3/M’ for two seconds to
store the frequency to the memory locations ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’.
Antenna Type: Internal, Integral
For electronic filing, the brief circuit description is saved with filename:

1.2 Related Submittal(s) Grants
This is a single application for certification of a transmitter.

1.3 Test Methodology
Radiated emission measurements were performed according to the
procedures in ANSI C63.4 (2003). Radiated Emission measurement was
performed in Open Area Test Sites. Preliminary scans were performed in the
Open Area Test Sites only to determine worst case modes. All Radiated tests
were performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated
otherwise in the "Justification Section" of this Application.
1.4 Test Facility
The open area test site and conducted measurement facility used to collect
the radiated data is located at Garment Centre, 576 Castle Peak Road,
Kowloon, Hong Kong. This test facility and site measurement data have been
fully placed on file with the FCC.

SYSTEM TEST CONFIGURATION

2.0 System Test Configuration
2.1 Justification
The system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer
would normally use it), and in the confines as outlined in ANSI C63.4 (2003).
The EUT was powered by its cigarette adaptor (Input: 12VDC).
For maximizing emissions, the EUT was rotated through 360°, the antenna
height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters above the ground plane, and the
antenna polarization was changed. The step by step procedure for
maximizing emissions led to the data reported in Exhibit 3.0.
The rear of unit shall be flushed with the rear of the table.
The equipment under test (EUT) was configured for testing in a typical fashion
(as a customer would normally use it). The EUT was placed on turntable,
which enabled the engineer to maximize emissions through its placement in
the three orthogonal axes.
2.2 EUT Exercising Software
There was no special software to exercise the device. Once the unit is
powered up, it transmits the RF signal continuously.
2.3 Special Accessories
There are no special accessories necessary for compliance of this product.

2.4 Equipment Modification
Any modifications installed previous to testing by RadioShack Corporation will
be incorporated in each production model sold / leased in the United States.
No modifications were installed by Intertek Testing Services Hong Kong Ltd.
2.5 Measurement Uncertainty
When determining the test conclusion, the Measurement Uncertainty of test
has been considered.

EMISSION RESULTS

3.0 Emission Results
Data is included worst case configuration (the configuration which resulted in
the highest emission levels). A sample calculation, configuration photographs
and data tables of the emissions are included.

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES
FCC ID: AAO120495 9
3.1 Field Strength Calculation
The field strength is calculated by adding the reading on the Spectrum
Analyzer to the factors associated with preamplifiers (if any), antennas,
cables, pulse desensitization and average factors (when specified limit is in
average and measurements are made with peak detectors). A sample
calculation is included below.
FS = RA +AF +CF −AG +PD +AV
where FS = Field Strength in dBµV/m
RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBµV
CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
AF = Antenna Factor in dB
AG = Amplifier Gain in dB
PD = Pulse Desensitization in dB
AV = Average Factor in −dB
In the radiated emission table which follows, the reading shown on the data
table may reflect the preamplifier gain. An example of the calculations, where
the reading does not reflect the preamplifier gain, follows:
FS = RA +AF +CF −AG +PD +AV

FCC ID: AAO120495 10
3.1 Field Strength Calculation (cont’d)
Example
Assume a receiver reading of 62.0dBµV is obtained. The antenna factor of
7.4dB and cable factor of 1.6dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29dB is
subtracted. The pulse desensitization factor of the spectrum analyzer was
0dB, and the resultant average factor was −10dB. The net field strength for
comparison to the appropriate emission limit is 32dBµV/m. This value in
dBµV/m was converted to its corresponding level in µV/m.
RA = 62.0dBµV
AF = 7.4dB
CF = 1.6dB
AG = 29.0dB
PD = 0dB
AV = −10dB
FS = 62 +7.4 +1.6 −29 +0 +(−10) = 32dBµV/m
Level in µV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(32dBµV/m)/20] = 39.8µV/m
