The machine operator is still required to follow OSHA and other applicable standards when operating the equipment. This system is designed with Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Technology to eliminate the RF interference problem in Radio remote products. The control system consists of two major modules: the remote station (this unit), and a separate remote receiver (Digital Controller) sold separately. Each transmitter is preprogrammed with a special radio ID code. The receiver is programmed to respond only to the transmitter with the ID code for which it is set. This feature allows the equipment to work in wireless mode in close vicinity of each other without interfering with each other. In the event that a transmitter becomes damaged and a new one is needed, the receiver can be reprogrammed to respond to the new transmitter. MINI REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION: 1.Refer to the wiring chart for wiring connections. 3.When installing the unit, the main power should run from the battery, through a 20 amps fast blow fuse, to a power switch or relay; then into the receiver unit. For best results connect the receiver main power connections to the auxiliary terminal of the ignition switch, PTO switch, or ignition relay. Use 18 gauge or heavier wire. 4.All connections must be properly insulated to protect against shorts. BEFORE APPLYING POWER: 1.Check power and ground polarity. 2.Check wiring harness for possible shorts before connecting remote control to output devices (i.e., valves, relays) by checking each mating pin terminal. 3.Read the rest of this manual. MINI REMOTE 3 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE: 1. Clean transmitter and receiver regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. 2. Periodically check receiver antenna for tightness. 3. Inspect electrical wiring for wear points or other damage. Repair as required. 4. Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion. Tighten and/or "seal" as necessary. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS: When performing any inspection or maintenance work on the MINI REMOTE system, always exercise care to prevent injury to yourself and others or damage to the equipment. The following are general precautions that should be closely followed in carrying out any maintenance work. 1. Do not have hydraulic power available to the valves when performing electrical tests or downloading programs. 2. Never operate or test any function if any person is in an area where they could be hurt by being hit or squeezed by the hydraulic equipment. 3. Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting valve coils or other electrical loads. TROUBLESHOOTING: This section provides basic operator level troubleshooting for the MINI REMOTE system. If, after following these instructions, the system still does not function, check the hydraulic system then contact your KAR-TECH representative for further instructions or servicing. MINI REMOTE 4 TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART PROBLEM SOLUTION 1. No operation of all functions when a function switch is activated. 1. Check to see if the selector switch is in the proper position. 2. Check that unit power is on. 3. Check that receiver power is on. 4. Check vehicle wiring for power into the receiver. 5. Check LED status display for system status. 6. Check for proper grounding of vehicle's electrical circuit. 7. Check vehicle's hydraulic system 2. Certain functions do not work 1. Check the wiring connection from the receiver to the valve coil or the output function that does not work. 2. Check LED status display for system status. 3. Check vehicle's hydraulic system 4. Check vehicle's electrical system 3. Function operates intermittently. 1. Check for loose connections. 2. Check LED status display for system status. 3.

Mr. Fujimoto: In order for processing of this application (FCC ID: P4U-MNTB) to continue, the following issue(s) will have to be addressed: 1) The letter of authority submitted accepts Compatible Electronics as an agent for a period of one year, yet it is not dated. Please submit a new letter. 2) Section 7.2 of the test report indicates that the low channel is 2402 MHz and the high channel is at 2480 MHz. This contradicts the rest of the information submitted. 3) The user’s manual references an optional AC adapter for the transmitter. If the unit may be supplied with an AC adapter, please submit the following: -External photos of the adapter -AC line conducted emissions data per 15.207. -Voltage variation data per 15.31(e). -radiated spurious emissions data per 15.209. 4) Section 8.5 of the test report indicates that the antenna conducted test was performed with a direct connection from the antenna output to the EMI receiver, but the test results section references the radiated emission data sheets. While there are radiated emissions data sheets covering 10 kHz to 1 GHz for transmit mode, there does not appear to be any Tx mode data above 1 GHz except for the harmonics of the transmitted signal. Please clarify how the tests were performed and provide additional data, if necessary. 5) The summary of test results section of the test report indicates that the upper frequency of measurement was 25 GHz for several tests, yet no evidence is found that any measurements were made above the 10 th harmonic of the transmit frequency. Please indicate the frequency range(s) of the tests performed. 6) The antenna gain for the transmitters is the test report and antenna information exhibit as being 0.35 dBi, and also as 3.5 dBi. Please clarify the actual gain of the antenna. 7) The limit indicated on the MPE calculations is incorrect. Please correct. 8) The operational description submitted is insufficient. Please submit a new description describing the device, its operation, intended usage during normal operation, etc. 9) The users manual references a “frequency lock feature”. Please explain this feature in detail. 10) The users manual appears to be incomplete, as there are numbered, blank pages throughout, as well as blacked-out information. The item(s) indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 60 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal and forfeiture of the filing fee. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Please upload responses and/or exhibits to the electronic filing website. Your correspondence number is P4U-MNTB-1. Best regards, Scott McCutchan Operations Manager Compatible Electronics TCB 114 Olinda Drive Brea, CA 92823 (714) 579-0500 Fax (714) 579-1850

Antenna Information For FCC 15.247 Mini Remote Control System Model: Mini Remote   Page 1 of 1 Antenna Information The antenna gain is about 0.35 dBi. This is based on a power output of 4.85 dBm and a field strength of 103.58 dBuV/m. G = (FS*D)^2 / 30 X TP Where G is the numeric Gain FS is field strength in V/m D is the distance in meters TP is the total Output in Watts G = (0.15100805*3)^2 / (30*0.00305492111) G = 2.23934626 G in dBi = 10 Log 2.23934626 = 3.50121 dBi

MPE Calculations For RF Exposure Requirements Mini Remote Control System Model: Mini Remote? Page 1 of 1 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE FOR SUBPART C 2.4 GHz BAND Calculations Power density at the specific separation: S = PG/(4R 2 p) S = (4.009 * 2.24) / (4 * 20 2 * p) S = 0.00178654607 mW/cm 2 (at 20 cm) Limit = 0.6015 mW/cm 2 (902.2 MHz / 1500) where S = Maximum power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Power input to the antenna (mW) – 6.03 dBm G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20 cm or 1 cm = limit for MPE) The maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population is 0.6 mW/cm 2 . The power density at 20 cm does not exceed the 0.6015 mW/cm 2 . Therefore, the exposure condition is compliant with FCC rules. The numeric gain (G) of the antenna with a gain specified in dB is determined by: G = Log -1 (dB antenna gain/10) G = Log -1 (3.50121 dBi/10) G = 2.24
