A secondary function is to facilitate operator ergonomics. The guard should not be used as a "handle" while performing a remote control operation with the transmitter. Consider the following scenario: the operator has completed a task and is walking away from the crane grasping the transmitter by the switch guard. If the unit is still ON and a hand accidentally moves one of the levers, the result could be an unintentional crane motion. To prevent this type of scenario, Control Chief provides a fitted harness with each transmitter for the operator to use during operations. The harness enables the operator to carry the unit around while performing their tasks, thereby prev enting an accidental switch lever actuation due to handling. Recommended Practices 1. Always wear a harness when performing remote control tasks with the transmitter. These components are designed to work together to provide the safest operational performance for the operator and the task he / she must perform. 2. When the operator has completed a shift or is about to take a break - the transmitter power switch must be turned off and the key removed. A transmitter should not be left unattended without being secured to prevent unauthorized operation.

Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: CBF-ADVLF45-450 1 Washington Laboratories, Ltd. 7560 LINDBERGH DRIVE GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879 (301) 417 – 0220 FAX # (301) 417 - 9069 February 22, 2008 Mr. Tim Johnson American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave McLean, VA 22101 RE: Comments of February 21, 2008 APPLICATION: CBF-ADVLF45-450 Control Chief Dear Mr. Johnson: Below are the comments that you have provided regarding the application for certification referenced above. Our responses to those comments are in bold italic. Many responses refer you to additional exhibit(s) which has been uploaded to the application folder at the ATCB website. Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us for any additional information that you may require. Regards, Steven D. Koster EMC Operations Manager Brian J. Dettling Documentation Specialist WLL Project: 9805-9806 1) Due to various concerns recently seen about proper authority being given to others for FCC and/or IC matters, the agency letter (and confidentiality letters as well) should be signed by someone traceable to have the proper authority. For instance, the FCC site shows Rob Reese as the correct contact of authority for FCC matters. Therefore the agency letters should be signed by this contact or alternatively a letter showing who he has “deputized” (i.e. John Bryner) to sign on his behalf may be provided as well. R. Please see “Revised Letter of Agency” and “Revised Request for Confidentiality”. 2) Representative Internal View (photograph 1 in internal photos) appears to show a different RF module installed. Please review. R. An outdated photo was inadvertently used. Please see “LJ45-450 Internal Photos revised”. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: CBF-ADVLF45-450 2 3) The label appears to be in the battery compartment. Therefore kindly explain compliance with the following: FCC labels in user accessible areas As an option to placing the FCC label on the exterior of the device, the FCC label can be placed in a user accessible area if the following conditions are met. 1) The device is handheld. 2) The FCC identifier is visible at the time of purchase. Marketing the device without the battery installed when the label is in the battery compartment is acceptable. The FCC identifier on the box or additional documentation directing the user as to where to find the FCC label also satisfies this requirement. 3) The user accessible area must not require any special tools for access and the FCC label must not be placed on a removable part. R. The applicant attests: 1. Device is handheld. 2. Battery cover is not installed during shipping. Additional notation of FCC ID is included on outer packaging. 3. Battery compartment is not removable. No special tools are required to remove the compartment cover. 4) Kindly explain tunable bands of operation and actual tunable channel frequencies (i.e. report mentions only 7 channels). Please see attached. According to Part 2, I would appear that the grant would list the following bands (although this would be adjusted by actual tunable channels as well): 450 – 454 MHz 456 – 462.5375 MHz 462.7375 – 467.5375 MHz 467.7375 – 470 MHz Note that if exact tunable frequencies are not provided. When known, the FCC wants the above adjusted by this. Please provide actual tunable frequency list. Note that it appears that the original radio module (by doing research) may be capable of 256 channels. Please explain in detail. Also, if these differ from the tested 450, 460, and 470 MHz, kindly explain. R. Please see “ST500 data sheet”, “94-00-0-003_B”, and “freq search instructions”. Exhibits “94-00- 0-003_B” and “freq search instructions” should be considered part of the Operational Description and held confidential accordingly. The applicant describes the documents: The ST500 data sheet should give you all the information needed on the programming the Wood and Douglas radio modules. The frequency search instructions are an internal document detailing our procedure for selecting a frequency to be submitted for licensing at a given location. These instructions reference a frequency search utility from PerCon Corporation which has been customized for Control Chief to filter based on our band plan. The band plan is attached as 94-00-0-003_B.xls Once a frequency is selected and approved, that frequency is programmed by Control Chief into the Wood and Douglas module and cannot be readily changed by the user. 5) Parts List provided appears to match the first internal photograph and therefore do not applied since they appear to be for a different version. Please review. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: CBF-ADVLF45-450 3 R. An incorrect file was previously uploaded. Please see “LJ45-450 Assy Dwg 02”. 6) Internal views provided in the Tune Up Procedure appears to match the first internal photograph and therefore appears to be for a different version (i.e. test points not accessible and may be different). Please review. R. An incorrect file was previously uploaded. Please see “Advantage LJ Tuning Proc 02”. 7) Kindly provide RF Exposure information. Kindly confirm that the antenna element is > 20 cm from the user. Note the users manual mentions 20 cm from antenna to user (page 3). It is unsure if this distance applies. R. The antenna is closer to 8.5 cm from the person when used normally. The MPE report shows the safe distance to be 2.2cm, because the antenna is inside the unit, the user can not get that close to the antenna. 8) Users manual mentions 25 mW output power. 731 Form cites 45.7 mW. Please explain. R. 45.7mW is the measured power output, the manual has been changed to reflect this value. 9) Is NVLAP reference in test report still correct? R. Yes, testing was performed under that accreditation. 10) Reference to TIA/EIA 603 appears outdated. Please review. (i.e. B vs. C) R. The standard used was TIA/EIA 603 B 11) What is ANSI/TIA/EIA-603-93 (another reference to same standard?) R. Should be the TIA/EIA 60…

Our responses to those comments are in bold italic. Many responses refer you to additional exhibit(s) which has been uploaded to the application folder at the ATCB website. Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us for any additional information that you may require. Regards, Steven D. Koster EMC Operations Manager Brian J. Dettling Documentation Specialist WLL Project: 9805-9806 1) Comment 8 referenced an updated manual which does not appear to be received. Please review. R. “LJ45-450 User Manual revised” has now been uploaded. See page 5. 2) Table of frequency information contains frequencies information that is confusing. It appears the frequencies may be for multiple model devices. Which are applicable? Is it only model 450X? If so, then it appears this device would be listed as 452.3250 – 452.9875, 456.1875 – 462.5124, and 467.2125 – 467.9375 MHz. Please confirm/ explain. R. Please see “94-00-0-003_C”. Note the column “LJ”. The cells in that column are grey if the associated frequency is unavailable for the LJ-45 device, and are white if the associated frequency can be used. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: CBF-ADVLF45-450 2 3) Please explain use of EIA/TIA 603B. This standard is outdated and replaced with EIA/TIA 603 C. Please see: Land Mobile FM or PM Communications Equipment Measurement and Performance Standards (ANSI/TIA-603-B-2002)(Superseded by TIA-603-C-2004) http://www.tiaonline.org/standards/catalog/ Then enter “603” and press search Note: Page 3 of the test report also references ANSI/TIA/EIA-603-93. R. Please see “LJ45-450 Test Report rev 1”. TIA 603B was used because that is what is listed at the FCC website as a measurement procedure. TIA 603C is not there. It does caution that the list is not all inclusive, but I assumed that the latest procedure would be listed. I have a copy of the TIA 603C, but could not find any reference to this test procedure for FCC testing. Please advice as to where the procedure is called out for future reference. 4) Regarding RF exposure, FCC would require SAR testing for when power is > 60/freq(GHz). This equates to around 120 mW. FCC considers worse case radiated or conducted. Unfortunately information regarding the gain of the antenna or the EIRP of this device is not provided. Please provide. R. Please see “ANT-458-SP_Data_Sheet”. As you can see from the antenna data sheet, the manufacturer has estimated the antenna gain at -4dBi. This will put the EIRP well below the SAR testing requirements.
