FCC Compliance Model: DSW FCC ID: SX8- DSW IC: 5736A-DSW This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area s likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense. The Tech 400’s internal rechar geable battery is non-user replaceable. It can be recharged only using the Bartec supplied ‘Kings’ ‘plug top’ charging unit . The full capacity of the battery is reached only after a few charge/discharge cycles. This capacity reduces as the battery comes to the end of its life. Contact Bartec for advice on replacement. Data (measurements) from TPM’s is reproduced as provided by the sensor. Note that the sensor provides absolute (gauge) pressure corrected for an assume d ambient pressure. The actual pressure relative to real ambient may be slightly different. Hence hand help gauges and vehicle dash displays may give slightly different pressure readings. Pressure is only available from Schrader TPMS on the ‘Select by Vehicle’ method. Tech 400 User Guide R5 4/1/08 27 A typical screen seen during communication is:- During vehicle communication, the ESC k e y is inhibited. Should the process be commenced inadvertently, the tool can be left to timeout of its own accord - approximately 20 seconds. To disconnect the OBD interface, reverse the connection method, no ting tha t removal of the cable is done by lightly pulling on the knurled metal ring as shown: Tech 400 User Guide R5 4/1/08 26 To connect the cable, lightly grip the rubber boot as shown: Connect the ODB interface to the cable in a similar manner. • E nsure the Tech 400 is turned on. • Ens ure the vehicle ignition is turned off. • Pl ug the ODB interface into the vehicle. • Tu rn on the vehicle ignition key if necessary to illuminate the indicator on the ODB interface. • U sing ‘up’ or ‘down’ keys, navigate to the ‘COM’ icon. • Pre ss enter and follow screen instructions- selecting the appropriate command. Read IDs from vehicle If ID’s are read from the vehicle, and TPM’s need to be re-read or chang ed then the vehicle icon wheel selection arrow can then be used to navigate to the wheel/TPM position and it can be read to overwrite the id. Then screen 2 can be used to write the new ids to the vehicle.

March 8, 2008 RE: Bartec USA LLC FCC ID: SX8‐DSW The following is in response to the comments made on the above referenced application: 1) Due to various concerns recently seen about proper authority being given to others for FCC and/or IC matters, the agency letter should be signed by someone traceable to have the proper authority. For instance, the FCC site shows Glen Harm as the correct contact of authority for FCC matters. Therefore the agency letters should be signed by this contact or alternatively a letter showing who he has “deputized” (i.e. Scot Holloway) to sign on his behalf may be provided as well. The FCC Database has been updated to reflect Scot Holloway as the proper contact. 2) This device contains a USB port. Please explain if this device is subject to Part 15 Class A Verification, Part 15 Class B Certification or DoC’d. Note that currently information provided in the application and labeling do not support Part 15 Class B Certification or DoC. It is assumed this device is subject to Part 15 Class A as a PC peripheral, but needs to be confirmed. Yes, as stated in the test report this is a Class A peripheral, subject only to verification. 3) Manual appears to be missing 15.21 information. The user’s manual has been updated to include this information. 4) Report cites loop antenna was placed 1.5 meters above ground plane. Section 8.2.1 of ANSI C63.4 requires center of loop to be 1.0 meters above ground plane. Note that photos suggest closer to 1.0 meter. Please confirm. The loop was placed at 1.0 meters. This is a typographical error in the report and has been corrected. 5) For 15.207 (AC powerline conducted emissions), this is expected to be performed while TX’ing. Note that 15.109 applies to RX/digital device modes, while 15.207 applies to when the device is TX’ing. However report references this data is in the RX report. Please review. Section 5.4 of the test report clearly indicates that the device was tested while transmitting. The limits for unintentional conducted emissions in section 15.107 and 15.207 are equivalent. 6) This device is portable, but test report does not appear to discuss testing the device while positioned in each of 3 axis as required by ANSI C63.4. Please review. Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of both test reports clearly indicate that the device was tested for multiple orientations. Furthermore, test setup photographs also state that they are depicting only one of three axes tested.
