The response to question #2 is that the two antennas listed are the only ones that will be marketed with the d evice. Best Regards Mike Mathis From: PCTEST TCB/CB Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 6:42 PM To: Mike Mathis Subject: Questions Regarding FCC ID: QHC-OPENWAY20 T o: Mr. Mike Mathis / Smartsynch Inc. From: Mr. Gregory Czumak / PCTEST TCB RE: FCC ID: QHC-OPENWAY20 Applicant: SMARTSYNCH Correspondence Reference Number: QHC91422 Co nfirmation Number: 911231422-3 Date of Original Email: December 28, 2009 Subject: Request for additional information In regards to your recent TCB application referenced above, we kindly request that you provide the following additional information. 1. Please submit an operational description for the DTS (Zigbee) transmitter that describes the RF section of the device. 2. The Installation Guide does not provide the maximum permitted antennas gains per band, but only lists “acceptable” antennas. Are these described antennas always marketed with the EUT? If not, please revise the Installation Guide to include the maximum permitted gains per band and resubmit it. The items indicated above must be submitted before pr ocessing can continue on the above referenced application.

REV 3.1MPE 02/09/09 1.3 MPE Requirements Overview Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable and are defined as follows: o Fixed Installations: fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. o Mobile Devices: a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, …
