WARNING TO USERS IN THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) LOCATION AND MONITORING SERVICE STATEMENT 47 CFR §90.351 NOTE: The user is required to obtain a Part 90 site license from the FCC to operate this radio frequency identification (RFID) device in the United States and Canada. FCC ID number is FIHE6PT90V1. IC ID number is 1584A-E6RSS137V1. Access the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form601/601.html or at wireless.fcc.gov/index.htm?job=online_filing to obtain additional information concerning licensing requirements. NOTE: Users in all countries should check with the appropriate local authorities for licensing requirements. FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT 47 CFR §15.105(a) NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate RF energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual. Operating this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case, depending on the regulations in effect, the user may be required to correct the interference at their own expense. NO UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS 47 CFR §15.21 CAUTION: This equipment may not be modified, altered, or changed in any way without permission from TransCore, LP. Unauthorized modification may void the equipment authorization from the FCC and will void the TransCore warranty. USE OF SHIELDED CABLES IS REQUIRED 47 CFR §15.27(a) NOTE: Shielded cables and earth grounding the unit is recommended for this equipment to comply with FCC regulations. TransCore, LP USA Health Limits for Encompass ® Multiprotocol Reader Using External Antenna (902 to 921.5 MHz) Within the United States, environmental guidelines regulating safe exposure levels are issued by the Occu- pational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Section 1910.97 of OSHA Safety and Health Standards 2206 legislates a maximum safe exposure limit of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm 2 ) averaged over 6 minutes at 902 MHz. Although not binding, other organizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have issued similar guidelines that are more restrictive than the OSHA limits (ANSI C95.1). ANSI guidelines recommend a maximum safe power density in mW/cm 2 of: Frequency (in MHz) 1500 Thus, the maximum permissible exposure for general population/uncontrolled exposure at 902 MHz is 0.60 mW/cm 2 . The average time is thirty minutes. The maximum permissible exposure for occupational/controlled exposures is 3.0 mW/cm 2 . The average time is six minutes. The RF power density generated by the Encompass Multiprotocol Reader was calculated using a maxi- mum antenna gain of 14.0 dBi, equivalent to the antenna gain of the external AA3152 Universal Toll Antenna (UTA). Warning At 2 W transmitted power, 0 dB transmit attenuation, and a distance of 33 inches (82 cm) from the antenna, the maximum power density calculated was less than 0.60 mW/cm 2 . Install the antenna at least 33 inches (82 cm) from the general public. Maintenance personnel must remain at least 15 inches (37 cm) from the antenna when the system is operating. The data confirms that when the UTA, or equivalent antenna, is used with the TransCore Encompass Multiprotocol Reader, the antenna effectively meets OSHA requirements and thus does not represent an operating hazard to either the general public or maintenance personnel.

February 15, 2021 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 request for FCC ID: FIHE6PT90V1 Dear Sirs: Transcore Amtech Technology Center requests that the material in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, Parts Lists, Schematics, and Tune Procedure be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s Rules following grant of the application. In support of this request, Transcore Amtech Technology Center submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES Block Diagram E6V1 Conf BlkDia.pdf Operational Description E6V1 Conf OpDes.pdf Parts List E6V1 Conf PartsList1.pdf Parts List E6V1 Conf PartsList2.pdf Parts List E6V1 Conf PartsList3.pdf Parts List E6V1 Conf PartsList4.pdf Schematics E6V1 Conf Schem1.pdf Schematics E6V1 Conf Schem2.pdf Schematics E6V1 Conf Schem3.pdf Schematics E6V1 Conf Schem4.pdf Tune Procedure E6V1 Conf TunPro.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set forth in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, Parts List, Schematics, and Tune Procedure 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: FIHE6PT90V1 ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes Block Diagram, Operational Description, Parts List, Schematics, and Tune Procedure. 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: 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
