Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior from up to 100 yards. The Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver a harmless stimulation. With proper training, a dog will learn to associate this signal with a command. Like all SportDOG products, this model features adjustable stimulation levels so you can tailor the stimulation level to your dog’s temperament, eliminating the risk of over-correction. Important: The YardTrainer SD-105 has a range of up to 100 yards. Depending on the way you hold the Remote Transmitter, the maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold the Remote Transmitter in a vertical position away from your body and over your head. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range. 4 1-800-732-0144 Intensity Dial Key Defi nitions Remote Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal to the Collar Receiver. It is weatherproof and cannot be submerged in water. Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of stimulation so you can match the correction to your dog’s temperament. Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low battery indicator. Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Continuous Stimulation. Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Continuous Stimulation two levels higher than the setting on the Intensity Dial. Side Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a tone without stimulation. Collar Receiver: Receives the radio signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is waterproof and can be submerged in water. Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Collar Receiver has been turned on or off and also serves as a low battery indicator. Contact Points: The contacts through which the Collar Receiver delivers stimulation when the Remote Transmitter upper or lower button is pressed. On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Collar Receiver on and off. Continuous Stimulation: You control both when and how long stimulation is delivered to your dog through the Collar Receiver’s Contact Points. When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for 8 seconds or more, the Remote Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and pressed again before additional stimulation can be delivered.

3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com September 28, 2007 ATCB Mr. Richard Fabina RE: ATCB005022 for Radio Systems Corporation FCC ID: KE3-FT303A Mr. Fabina: The following is my response to your letter with comments regarding the above submittal. I have included your original text to respond to. I have a few comments on this Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. 1. Please confirm that this transmitter is not a learned mode transmitter where it determines its pulse train from a device that is operated by the consumer. Learned mode transmitters cannot be approved by America TCB. The Transmitter is not a learned mode transmitter. 2. The FCC ID label is wrong. It is missing the term “FCC ID” (See Section 2.925(a)(1) of the FCC Rules. This section reads “FCC Identifier consisting of the two elements in the exact order specified in §2.926. The FCC Identifier shall be preceded by the term FCC ID in capital letters on a single line, and shall be of a type size large enough to be legible without the aid of magnification.” Please revise the label exhibit accordingly. Revised and Uploaded 3. Please confirm that all buttons were depressed to determine worst case duty cycle factor and all buttons either transmit the same pulse train or the worst case was chosen for determining the duty cycle correction factor. Plot 5d shows 20 pulses in the pulse train while plots 5c and 5e show either 31 or 33 pulses in the pulse train. If the duty cycle increases, recalculate the duty cycle correction factor using item 7 below. Plots 5a and 5b show transmit time of the 2 discrete pulse types used in the transmission. Plot 5d shows a single cycle of the pulse train. This cycle is repeated 4 times every 380.63 ms as shown in plot 5e. Original duty cycle correction was conducted as 26.4 ms every 380.63 ms as that was the duty cycle, yielding -23.18 dB duty cycle correction factor. However, since the maximum allowed time to determine duty cycle correction is every 100 ms, and assuming that all pulse transmissions occur in the 100 ms time period, the duty cycle factor becomes: 20 log (26.4/100) = -11.6 dB Correction Factor (as calculated below under item 7) The report has been corrected accordingly and uploaded. 3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com 4. Please confirm that all buttons were depressed to determine worst case radiated emissions from this transmitter and what mode or button represents the worst case radiated data submitted. If the duty cycle increases, recalculate the duty cycle correction factor using item 7 below. This confirms that all buttons were depressed to determine the worst case radiated emissions. The side transmit button represents the worst case radiated emission. The EUT was also tested in all three axis to determine worst case emission. 5. Please confirm that the knob that increases the intensity of the pet training signal does not increase the duty cycle correction factor by increasing the number or width of pulses sent in a pulse train. If the duty cycle increases, recalculate the duty cycle correction factor using item 7 below. This is confirmation that the knob increases the voltage applied but does not increase the duty cycle. 6. The letter granting US Tech the authority to act as your agent before the FCC comes from a different company (Pet Safe Training Systems) than Radio Systems Corporation. Please either provide another letter from Radio Systems authorizing US Tech authority to act as your agent or give Pet Safe the authority to do so. There must be traceability back to the applicant, Radio Systems Corporation on all actions in this application. Pet Safe Training Systems is the Copyrighted Trademark of Radio Systems Inc. This Agency letter has been used since 2005 to allow us to act as agent for Radio Systems. All prior applications that have been granted by ATCB for Radio Systems has used this letter. Can it continue to be accepted? 7. For your information – The duty cycle correction factor was calculated incorrectly. Duty factors are calculated over the entire pulse train including blanking intervals or 100 milliseconds whichever is shorter. In this case, the pulse train exceeds 100 mS. Therefore, you must choose the maximum on time for the pulse train during any 100 mS window. See ANSI C63.4(2003), Annex H4, step J and Section 15.35(c) of the FCC Rules for help. If the answers to issue 3 above do not change what has been represented in this filing, I have calculated the worst case duty factor as being -11.6 dB if all pulse transmissions occur within the 100 mS window (which they will not). But even using this duty cycle correction factor, the transmitter complies with all the requirements for field strength of fundamental, spurious and restricted band radiated emissions. Please make a note of this requirement for future applications. Noted. See item 3 above. Report corrected and uploaded. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me with any further questions. Sincerely, Louis A. Feudi Vice President of Operations and Engineering

Related Submittal(s)/Grant(s) The EUT will be used with DoC approved receivers. FCC ID: KE3-FT303A Page 7 of 42 SECTION 2 TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS FCC ID: KE3-FT303A Page 8 of 42 TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS Configuration of Tested System The sample was tested per ANSI C63.4, Methods of Measurement from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (2003). Conducted and radiated emissions data were taken with the test receiver or spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth adjusted to 9 kHz and 120 kHz, respectively. All measurements are peak unless stated otherwise. The video filter associated with the spectrum analyzer was off throughout the evaluation process. Interconnecting cables were manipulated as necessary to maximize emissions. A block diagram of the tested system is shown in Figure 1. Test configuration photographs for spurious and fundamental emissions are shown in Figure 2. Since the EUT is a hand held device, it was rotated about all 3 axis in order to obtain worst case results. Test Facility Testing was performed at US Tech's measurement facility at 3505 Francis Circle, Alpharetta, GA. This site has been fully described and registered with the FCC, under designation number US5117. Additionally this site has also been fully described and submitted to Industry Canada (IC), and has been approved under file number IC2982. Modifications 1) No modifications were necessary to bring the EUT into compliance with the Part 15.231 limits Test Equipment Table 2 describes test equipment used to evaluate this product.
