Usually a full charge is achieved in about 4 to 5 hrs.. The charger will turn itself off when the battery is fully charged. e. An LED on the charger indicates the charging status. The following table shows the LED indications. LED Condition Flash 50/50 Rapid Charge ON Charge Complete Blip 10/90 Charge Pending, waiting for cool down Fast Blip Charge Failure, See troubleshooting guide Off No AC or Battery f. A fully charged battery in good condition should operate the scoreboard for approximately 6 hrs. g. Extra battery packs are available for continuous use. h. The battery should be recharged after each use. i. The scoreboard will remember the FUNCTION options and the scoreboard data even with the battery disconnected. The scoreboard data will be displayed when a charged battery is connected and the power switched on. j. The scoreboard power switch is located on the back of the scoreboard near the battery. (See figure 3). The switch should remain off when the scoreboard is not in use to conserve battery charge. • Never use the batteries with anything other than specifically designed equipment. • Always use the battery charger prescribed by Nevco LX0315SUT4SNNS. • Never heat or incinerate the battery. • Never impact, pierce or crush the battery. • Never disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains a circuit designed to enhance safety. Damaging this circuit may cause overheating, fire or bursting. • Never charge a battery under high temperature conditions, such as near a fire or in the direct sunlight. If the ambient temperature is too high, the protection circuit may be actuated preventing further charging, or damage to the battery pack. • Never short-circuit the battery by connecting the positive and negative terminals with a metal material. Do not store or carry the battery where it could come into contact with metal objects such as a key chain or necklace. • Never allow the battery to get wet or be immersed in water. • Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or high pressure container. • Stop charging if the battery is not charged after the prescribed charge time. • If leakage of the electrolyte occurs, or if there is an offensive odor, immediately keep the battery away from any source of fire or spark. • If you become aware of any abnormal phenomena, such as odor, discoloration, or deformation, during use, while charging or when storing the battery, remove the battery from the device or charger and stop using. • In the event the electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, flush thoroughly with clean water, without rubbing. Consult with a physician immediately. Nevco Scoreboard Company Page 4 Revision 1.0 8/19/2005 Choosing a site for the scoreboard a. The scoreboard is constructed of durable materials; Nevco recommends a location that will minimize the chance of physical damage. b. The scoreboard can stand alone with the integrated fold out stand for easy setup on the ground, or it can be hung on a fence. c. For maximum visibility locate the scoreboard to minimize sun glare during game time. d. The operator needs to be able to see and read the digits on the scoreboard. e. The range will vary depending on conditions. The wireless control range is 0 to 250 feet. Greater range can be achieved by maintaining a clear line of sight from the control to the scoreboard. Control Power a. The control operates on two 1.5 volt AA batteries. Heavy Duty …

August 19, 2005 Timco Engineering Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, FL 32669 Office of Engineering and Technology Federal Communications Commission Columbia, MD 21046 Applicant: NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY 301 East Harris Avenue Greenville, IL 62246 Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID number PLH-USC PRODUCT: Periodic transmitter control for display operating under part 15.231. Dear Sirs: NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY requests that the material in the Parts List, , Schematics, block diagram, and Operational Description be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with Section 0.459 of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.459 (1998), following grant of the application. In support of this request, NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY submits the following: 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set fourth in the Operational Description, Parts List, block diagram, and Schematics, which are segregated from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: PLH-USC 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, (schematic diagrams) and detail Parts List. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY’s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by NEVCO SCOREBOARD COMPANY and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. This equipment is designed for commercial, industrial, and governmental applications. As such, unlike most consumer equipment, this equipment could be used for more than a decade in some cases. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers
