Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The abbreviation IC, before the Canadian Registration Number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The CE mark, if present, declares that this equipment meets relevant EU Directives and Standards. DANE INDUSTRIES, INC.

Direction is controlled by the handle bar. Speed is controlled by turning the twist grip throttle. Direction is controlled by touching the touch pad switch located on the control panel. When the switch is pressed, the direction changes between forward and reverse as indicated by the direction light. REMOTE MODE : (See diagram on page 22.) Remote Mode is defined as operating the QuicKart with the remote control while standing or walking alongside the lead cart of the cart chain coupled to the QuicKart 2000. Steering is controlled by guiding the lead cart in the desired direction. Forward speed, brakes and horn are operated with the hand held radio remote control. While in remote mode, the QuicKart will only move forward. CONTROL PANEL: (See diagram on page 22.) At the top of the Control Panel are 5 lights which show the percent of remaining battery capacity (BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL). When the batteries are fully charged the light at the "100" mark will be lighted. As the QuicKart is used throughout the day, the lights will slowly change from 100 to 80, 60, and 40 until the light for 20 is lighted. The charging level is most accurately shown when the QuicKart is pushing carts. When the 20% capacity light starts to flash on and off, it means there are approximately 4 minutes of remaining power before the QuicKart automatically shuts down. If the QuicKart does shut down, turn the key off for a few minutes, then on again. This may allow time to reach the charging station. Recharge the batteries for at least 8 to 10 hours or until fully recharged. The control panel also includes a series of 4 lights and panel button switches with the following functions: The light labeled "MANUAL" is for manual operation and "RADIO" is for remote operation. The push button switch, just below these two lights, will toggle between manual and remote control. The QuicKart will automatically set to manual operation and forward whenever it is turned on. It cannot be moved from manual to remote operation when the QuicKart is moving, only when it is stopped. DANE INDUSTRIES, INC.

The light labeled "FORWARD" is for Forward-Direction operation and "REVERSE" is for Reverse-Direction operation. The push button switch, just below these two lights, will toggle between forward and reverse QuicKart direction. The QuicKart will always be set to forward operation whenever it is turned on. The switch will not change the operational direction until the QuicKart is stopped. For safety, the remote mode allows operation only in the forward direction. Pressing the "HORN" button will sound the horn loudly as long as it is pressed. A large red "EMERGENCY" shut off button is located on the backside of the control panel. (See top and side views of the QuicKart on pages 11 and 15) This is located so that light contact with the body will bring the machine to an abrupt stop. To restart the mach…

FCC ID: N2N 600-041 Description of Circuit for Dane Transmitter 433.doc 1 of 1 8/11/2003 Description of Circuit for Dane Transmitter (433 MHz) The transmitter is used to control a motorized shopping cart pushing device. This enables a person in a parking lot to return multiple shopping carts back to the store they came from. Four commands can be sent from the transmitter to the receiver that controls the pushing device. They are: slow speed, faster speed, honk horn, and stop. These are activated only while the respective push button is held down. If no button is held down the pushing device reverts to stop. The transmitter is powered by a 9 volt DC battery (or 6 volt batteries). This is fed into a PNP transistor which acts as an on/off switch. When a push button is activated the transistor is turned on and furnishes power to the rest of the circuit. With no button pushed the only power draw is the leakage across the transistor and the PC board. The battery is presumed to be dead when it will no longer activate the pushing device. From the on/off switch the voltage is fed to a LED indicating device and a 5 volt DC regulator. The 5 volt DC is then fed to the rest of the active circuits, which consist of a microprocessor, a 433 MHZ RF module, and a RF switch. The microprocessor is a PIC 12C508 which has its own internal RC oscillator. This oscillator runs at about 4 MHz. Inputs to the microprocessor are the four push button switches (slow, fast, horn, and stop). When these are held down, the respective commands are sent to the pushing device. The command protocol consists of a pulse width OFK modulated signal. This has a start period of 750 microseconds to allow the receiver to enable. This is followed by a preamble of two zero’s and a one. After this, 14 bits of information is sent consisting of address, data, and a check sum. The worst case (all information bits being ones) time the command is transmitted is 4.75 milliseconds. A bit time is 375 microseconds, with a zero being 250 microseconds off and 125 on and a one the opposite, with 125 microseconds off and 250 microseconds on. This command is repeated every 50 milliseconds, which gives it an on time of 9.5 milliseconds every 100 milliseconds (9.5%). The microprocessor outputs two signals. The first enables the 433 MHz RF module, and the second sends the command to the RF switch. The RF module is used as a SAW oscillator which runs at 433.92 MHz. This is the fundamental frequency with no multiplication’s of frequency used. When the microprocessor enables the oscillator, it runs constantly. The oscillator is then fed to an RF switch. The RF switch consists of GaAs transistors which are turned on or off. When it is on, it shunts the oscillator signal to ground and when off allows the oscillator signal to drive the antenna. The matching circuit filters the harmonics and matches the impedance of a short piece of wire which is raised up off the PC board and acts as the antenna.
