Comply with all warning and caution statements in the instructions. Observe all warning and caution symbols that are affixed to this device. Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform to local regulations. Do not overload outlets or extension cords, as this can lead to risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Do not open the device. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the installation and troubleshooting instructions. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. This device should not be used in an environment that exceeds _______. FCC Statements FCC Interference Statement 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 environment. 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. Potential harmful interference to radio or television reception can be determined by turning the device off and on. If this equipment does cause such interference, the user is encouraged to make attempts to correct the interference by taking one or more of the following measures: ● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna ● Increase the separation between the device and receiver ● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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. FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 4 FCC RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the separation distance between the antenna and a person’s body (including hands, wrists, feet and ankles) must be at least 20 cm (8 inches). This transmitter must not be co-located, or operating in conjunction with, any other antenna or transmitter. The availability of specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country-dependent,and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destinations. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user. 5 RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF WIRELESS DEVICES In some situations or environments, the use of wireless devices may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. For example, using wireless equipment in any environment where the risk of interference with other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain as to the applicable policy for the use of wireless equipment in a specific organization or environment, you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the device prior to turning on the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of the devices included with this product, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment, other than that specified by the manufacturer. Correction of the interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution, or attachment is the responsibility of the user. The manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with these guidelines. 6 Table of Contents OVERVIEW .................................................................................................................................................. 7 OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS .................................................................................................................................. 7 ACTIVATION............................................................................................................................................................... 9 TAGGING .................................................................................................................................................................. 10 Figure 1 SenseTag Full Assembly ................................................................................... 7 Figure 2 PCB Assembly Bottom Side .............................................................................. 8 Figure 3 PCB Assembly Top Sid…

We also declare that the information provided to the FCC is true and correct to the best of our knowledge (47 CFR 2.911(d)) and we have been informed of the grantee responsibilities (47 CFR 2.909) with regard to certified equipment. Thank you, Dated this 17th day of March, 2020. Agency Agreement Expiration Date: 17 March 2021 _Mr Perry Howell__ By: (Signature) (Print name) Title: _President_ On behalf of: __Communication Systems Solutions, Inc Telephone: (402) 261-8688__x201____________________

Request for Confidentiality Date: 2020 FEB 27 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: FCC ID: QQIET300 Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d), 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 Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Communications Systems Solutions, Inc. 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 ___(specify number of days not to exceed 180) 1 ___ 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: __________________________ Nic Johnson (Agent), Technical Manager, NCEE Labs (Signature/Title 2 ) (Print name) 1 - Please refer to http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-Standard-Confidentiality.pdf for complete details. 2 - Must be signed by applicant contact given for applicant on the FCC site, or by the authorized agent if an appropriate authorized agent letter has been provided.
