Request for Confidentiality Date: 08.08.2013 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: FCC ID: NDX-WALKBY ______ Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent* 1 Internal Photos Short Term Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM Short Term Permanent Tune-Up Procedure Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Short Term Permanent* User’s Manual *Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ DATAMARS SA has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant 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: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of (0) 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. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, By: Manager Certification Thomas Ring 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.”

American Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, Suite C110, McLean, VA 22101, USA ACB: I can see that the antenna has an FCC ID but that certification has not yet been completed. Are these items intended to operate together as a system and be sold together? Why does the antenna have an FCC ID? Applicant: It is a mistake. The antenna does not have an FCC ID. ACB: Please confirm if this device also has an internal antenna? The operation description refers to the Gate Antenna as “additional”. Does this mean there is another option? Applicant: We confirm, this device has only the gate antenna now. ACB: Please describe the antenna connector. I suspect it is a multi-pin connector with pins for power to the antenna and RF connection also. Please confirm the type of connection. Applicant: The connector is a two-pin-connector: 1 pin for ground, 1 pin for RF connection.

RF Exposure FCC ID: NDX-WALKBY Bluetooth: Bluetooth output power: 3.9 dBm (0.0025 W) Antenna gain: up to 8 dBi Possible ERP: 11.9 dBm (0.0155W) 134.2 kHz Transmitter: Field strength average: 104.9 dBμV/m @ 3 m Output ERP: 9.7 dBm (0.0093 W) Power levels combined: (BT and 134.2kHz): 0.0248 W Calculation of power density at 20 cm for mobile device: As certification holder of the BT Module declared in the FCC Listing under FCC ID: PVH0925, the max. measured conducted power output is 2.46 mW (3.9 dBm), and the maximum antenna gain is 8.0 dBi. Both, max conducted and radiated output power are well below the low threshold defined as (60/f GHz) mW for d <2.5 cm in the TCB exclusion list. Therefore the device is exempted. Confirmation of safety when carrying by the handle while the device is powered on: a) 2.4 GHz: [ 24.8 / d ] x [ 1.55 ] = 3 24.8 / d = 1.936 d = 24.8 / 1.936 d = 12.8 mm b) 134.2 kHz (0.0001342 GHz): [ 24.8 / d ] x [ 0.0116 ] = 3 24.8 / d = 258.97 d = 24.8 / 258.97 d = 0.096 mm Conclusion: As long as the user is always more than 12.8 mm away from both the RFID and Bluetooth antennas at the same time, it is safe to use the device.
