REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Date: October 3, 2025 Applicant: Garmin International Subject: Confidentiality Request for FCC ID: IPH-04986 IC: 1792A-04986 Pursuant to FCC 47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459, and IC RSP-100 Section 12.4, we request that a part of the FCC and ISED application be held confidential. Type Of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Block Diagrams ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Schematics ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Operational Description/ Theory of Operation ☐ Short Term ☐ Permanent ☒ Not Provided Parts List & Placement/BOM ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Tune-Up Procedure ☒ Short Term ☐ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Test Setup Photos ☒ Short Term ☐ Permanent ☐ Not Provided User’s Manual(s) ☒ Short Term ☐ Permanent ☐ Not Provided External Photos ☒ Short Term ☐ Permanent ☐ Not Provided Internal Photos Garmin International has spent a substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in the industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage we have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: Garmin requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality (if applicable): The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Sincerely, Rick Jankovics Lead Compliance Engineer
