FCC Equipment Authorization Application for the RTA-4218 RCPN 945-2185-001 Rev - Rockwell Collins Proprietary Information Page 41of 165 User’s Manual Rockwell Collins does not supply operating instructions with the RTA-4218. The RTA-4218 is designed to meet the requirements of ARINC 429 and 708A as well as RTCA documents DO-220, DO-160G, and DO- 178C. Rockwell Collins does produce a comprehensive installation manual which, pursuant to an agreement with the FCC staff, is available upon request but is not included in this electronic exhibit.

The public disclosure of above documents might be harmful to our company and would give competitor an unfair advantage in the market. In additional to above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission's policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices. We are requesting the commission to grant short-term confidentiality request on the following attachment(s) for 180 days after the grant as outlined in Public Notice DA 04-1705. • External Photos • Internal Photos Page 2 of 2 • Test Setup Photos • User Manual It is our understanding that all measurement test reports, FCC ID label format and correspondence during the certification review process cannot be granted as confidential documents and that information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued. Sincerely, Laurie Sussman
