Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent Internal Photos Short Term Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM Short Term Permanent Tune-Up Procedure Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Short Term Permanent User’s Manual *Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ ______(Insert Company Name)______ 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) ___ 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.

This transceiver is a complete RF module with an integral reference oscillator. External connections are provided for power and data communication. The following numbered items correspond to similarly numbered paragraphs in 15.212. Each item is a response to the requirements of that document. 1) The module has integral RF shielding to isolate it from surrounding equipment and the larger environment in general. 2) All inputs are processed as data by the on-board microcontroller. The outside user has no direct control of transmit modulation. 3) There is a 1.8V voltage regulator on board that powers the radio transceiver. The power amplifier supply is monitored by the microcontroller and transmission is disabled if the source voltage is greater than 3.6V. 4) An integral PCB – trace antenna is used with this module. This is in accordance with Part 15.203. 5) The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration and found to be compliant with Part 15 regulations. 6) An FCC ID label is affixed to each unit at the time of manufacture. Information is also clearly presented in the user guide about labeling requirements for the final assembly. 7) This unit is compliant with Part 15.247. Installation and other requirements are presented in the user guide to allow the unit to be correctly installed. 8) The unit is compliant with the RF exposure requirements of Parts 15.247 and 2.1091. Further information may be obtained from LS Research, LLC. Sincerely, William Steinike President of LS Research, LLC
