Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Per FCC 15.21: The user and installer of the IrriGreen Genius Irrigation System shall not make any modifications to the system not expressly approved by IrriGreen. Unauthorized modifications will void the warranty and void the user's authority to operate the equipment per FCC rules. IrriGreen Genius Irrigation System – Training Manual Page 2 Changing the way we water the world™ IrriGreen™ Genius™ Irrigation System Training Manual Introduction The Genius irrigation system combines digital technology with a patent pending nozzle design to produce an irrigation system capable of distributing water in patterns that fit the shape of the landscape. The Genius irrigation system does this while both reducing the water required to irrigate the landscape and saving significant installation ti me and materials. The Genius irrigation system is designed to significantly reduce the labor required to install in‐ground irrigation systems while at the same time reducing water required to sufficiently water the lawn. The center of the system is the Genius sprinkler that can be programed to water a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Th is sprinkler reduces the need for distribution pipe by up to 85%, significantly cuts the number of sprinkler heads required and reduces the amount of water typically wasted to irrigate the lawn by up to 50%. While the cost of the water is born by the property owner, it is still a barrier that can be turned into an opportuni ty when selling the benefits of Genius irrigation systems to consumers. Reducing installation labor for the installer and reducing end user water bills are compelling reasons for irrigation contractors to consider switching all or part of their installation busin ess to the Genius irrigation system. The installer will be able to address business in more price sensitive areas by offering services at a reduced price while maintaining profitability on every installation. Their customers will be happier with green, hassle free lawns and lower water bills than those customers with conventional irrigation systems. This traini ng manual is a component of a training program developed to train experienced irrigation contractors on the techniques unique to installing the Genius irrigation system. This program is intended for licensed (if required by local and/or state code), experienced irrigation contractors for residential and commercial in‐ground irriga tion systems. It is not intended as a complete or comprehensive training program for installing in‐ground irrigation systems. THIS TRAINING PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR IRRIGATION CONTRACTORS THAT ARE ALREADY LICENSED AND/OR EXPERIENCED IRRIGATION PROFESSIONALS. (NOTE: PROFESSIONAL IRRIGATION TRAINING RECOMMENDED.) The following points will be covered by this training program and manual:  Comparison of the Genius irrigation system to conventional sprinkler systems.  Key features and benefits of the Ge nius irrigation system.  Selling the Genius irrigation system.  Installation techniques unique to the Genius irrigation system.  Programming the Genius sprinklers.  Maintenance techniques unique to the Genius irrigation system.  System warranty information.

NORTHWEST EMC, INC. 22975 NW Evergreen Pkwy, Suite 400  Hillsboro, Oregon 97124  503 844-4066  Fax 503 844-3826 Date: June 17, 2014 Federal communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 Application Examiner: Northwest EMC Test report # IRRI0001 was used to support an original grant of certification for FCC ID: 2ABSA5001 issued March 17, 2014. After the grant was issued, the TCB, Northwest EMC, Inc. determined that he test report contained data only for the lowest channel. Per 15.31(m), the lowest, middle and highest channels should have been tested The grantee scheduled testing of their product at the middle and highest channels. It failed to meet the spurious radiated emissions limits while transmitting at high channel (455.92 MHz). The grantee then decided to modify the software on their product so that it would only transmit from 433.92. – 443.92 MHz The original test report has been revised to include data while transmitting at the lowest (433.92 MHz) channel, and the highest (443.92 MHz) channel. Note that FCC 15.31(m) requires only the lowest and highest channels to be tested when the operating range is 1 – 10 MHz Best regards, Tim O’Shea Operations Manager – Brooklyn Park, MN Northwest EMC, Inc.

The difference is the result of tolerances in the measurement system that cannot be completely eliminated. To the extent that technology allows us, it has been our aim to minimize this error. Measurement uncertainty is a statistical expression of measurement error qualified by a probability distribution. A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document WP 342. The estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty (K=2) for each test is listed below. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of the applicable specification; therefore, the test data can be compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for estimating measurement uncertainty are based upon ETSI TR 100 028 (or CISPR 16-4-1 as applicable), and are available upon request.
