This document describes the procedures to install the Exterior On-Board Unit (OBU) on the outside of a commercial or passenger vehicle. The typical mounting location for an Exterior OBU is over the license plate at the upper part of a vehicle’s front license plate area (Figure 1). Note: If your state does not require a front license plate, install the Exterior OBU in the area where the license plate would normally be mounted. If your vehicle does not have a designated front license plate mounting area, contact your tag agency for other options. Supplies •Exterior OBU (may have double-sided tape for secure mount) •Screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips depending on your vehicle’s license plate mounting screws) •Optional two self-tapping threaded screws (customer supplied) •Optional TransCore Exterior Tag Accessory Kit (19077-01). This kit contains tamper-resistant mounting screws and wrench. Exterior OBU Installation Procedures To mount the Exterior OBU in the license plate area 1.Remove the screws from the license plate area of your front bumper (Figure 1). If your vehicle does not have mounting screws you will need two self-tapping threaded screws. You can also contact the tag agency to inquire about the optional TransCore Exterior Tag Accessory Kit. Note: You may need to use longer screws to fasten the OBU over the top area of your license plate.

SPECIFICATIONS 600039-003 08/11 2.Position the OBU so that it is within 18 inches (46 cm) of the center of the front bumper as shown by the shaded area in Figure 1. If your vehicle’s license plate mounting area is more than 18 inches (46 cm) from the center, you may need to select an alternate location on the bumper to mount the OBU. Contact your tag agency if your vehicle requires an alternate mounting location for the OBU. 3.Hold the OBU so that the mounting holes are to the top and fasten the OBU to the bumper using the license plate mounting screws (Figure 2). Install the OBU over the top area of the vehicle’s license plate if your vehicle has a front license plate. If your state does not require a front license plate, install the OBU in the area where a license plate would normally be mounted . Figure 2 Placement Over the Upper Area of the License Plate The license plate should have a 90-degree field-of-view to the overhead antenna as the vehicle approaches the toll plaza/gantry. If the vehicle bumper limits the field-of-view or if the license plate area is angled downward toward the pavement, you can use an angled mounting bracket to point the OBU upward to increase the field of view and improve performance (Figure 3).

August 5, 2011 Timco Engineering Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, FL 32669 Applicant: Transcore - Amtech Technology Center 8600 Jefferson Street NE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87113 Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID number FIH05443 Product: Low Power Transmitter operating under part 15.249 Dear Sirs: Transcore Amtech Technology Center requests that the material in the Schematics, Operational Description, and Block Diagram be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with Section 0.459 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.459, following grant of the application. In support of this request, Transcore Amtech Technology Center submits the following: CONFIDENTIAL FILES Block Diagram Conf BlkDia 05443.pdf Operational Description Conf OpDes 05443add.pdf Schematics Conf Schem 05443digital.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set forth in the Operational Description, block diagram, parts list, and Schematics, which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: FIH05443 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, and schematic. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Transcore Amtech Technology Center engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Transcore Amtech Technology Center. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Transcore Amtech Technology Center and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. This equipment is designed for commercial, industrial, and governmental applications. As such, unlike most consumer equipment, this equipment could be used for more than a decade in some cases. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers
