FCC Compliance This device complies with Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference.2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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 installation. 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. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following means: 1 Rotate or relocate the receiving antenna. 2 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 3Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 4 Consult the manufacturer customer service department for help. Under normal operating conditions, the antenna is designed to maintain a separation distance of 20 cm from all persons. The EUT is mobile and fixed. 2 Introduction to GPS and RF technology In the year 1995, the defense department of the United States of America launched a series of complex satellites to constantly circle the earth twice daily at nearly 11,000 miles up. Because 24 were sent in orbit, it allowed for the capacity to cover the earth so that at any time four satellites are in view of any point on earth. These Global Position system (GPS) satellites constantly broadcast a low power signal that identifies their position above the earth. By using a system of triangulation, three satellites can pinpoint every longitude and latitude on earth. This allows GPS systems to display your location in relation to the satellites and thereby display your location on the ground. In 2000 the government improved the accuracy and allowed this technology for civilian use. All GPS units share the same satellites data. It is not a perfect system. In order for all GPS units to function properly the receiving unit should be free of dense cover. The units need to detect the signals from three satellites, so most do not work in buildings and during heavy weather. It is also helpful if the receiving GPS antennae in your units are horizontal. This allows capture of three or more satellites at once. If units are vertical they may only receive one or two signals and that is not enough for a triangulated fix. Sometimes it may take a minute or two for the unit to get all three satellite signals. Be patient. You are capturing signals sent from thousands of miles in space. Occasionally the remote receiver on RoamEO is covered by heavy brush or has only two signals and is looking for the third. Radio frequency transmissions are used all the time in many technologies that you may already have. These include, but are not limited to, citizens band radios, walkie talkies, RFID tags, cell phones and many other tracking devices. These signals follow the terrain, over hills and through valleys. There are many frequencies or bands to transmit information. The federal government restricts the number and specific frequencies that are available to the general public to use for over the counter technologies like RoamEO. RoamEO does not use the frequencies that are use by walkie talkies; however, some electronic devices can sometimes interfere with the transmission of RoamEO signals. The engineers at White Bear Technologies are continually improving the technology to avert the problems caused by many users on the same frequency. In general, RoamEO will work best in the country. The closer the user gets to large cities, the more cross traffic they are likely to encounter. RoamEO uses both technologies to pinpoint the base holder and display it in relation to the remote(s). This allows the user to locate the remote(s) up to a mile away (free of any obstruction) in any directi…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 August 7, 2006 RE: FCC ID: UAX-RPV1_ATCB003834 Attention: Kathy Grzovic / Richard McMurray I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that the rf exposure states that this device is kept 20cm from the body. Please note that while SAR is generally considered as a human subject requirement, it is not known how the FCC views devices worn by pets, wild animals etc. Consequently, the rf exposure document assumes only human proximity. As this device is designed to be worn around the neck or body of the pet, it is therefore not known if SAR tests would be required. A question to the FCC has been made to address this configuration. In the mean time, please consider the rf exposure issue and the possibility that SAR may be required. This means that the device would have to be tested in the host. 2. Please provide the tune up procedure for this device or please provide an explanation as to why this device has no tune up capabilities. Please remember that the tune up procedure referred to is the factory tune up and not any tunable aspect on the user’s part. Please also remember that the tune up procedure/notice is also a separate exhibit and is not considered part of the operational description. 3. Please note that the documentation states the device is “mobile and fixed”. However, it is not clear if the use in the ‘fixed’ host can in fact be worn on the person’s body or if it is always placed 20cm or more from the person. Please explain. Please also note that depending on the response from the FCC to the current inquiry, the device may be classified as portable. 4. Please note that the operational description states, “When the module desires to transmit a packet...” However, this is not a clear indication that the device cannot transmit in continuous carrier transmit mode. Please note that part 95 states, “MURS transmitters may not be operated in the continuous carrier transmit mode.” Please explain how the device meets this requirement. 5. Please note that on page 10 of the report the occupied bandwidth plot shows that in the upper sideband of the mask the signal may be at the limit and possibly over the limit calculated. Please review this mask and affirm that all emissions (especially the last signal on the downward slop of the 29 log (f d 2 /11) just before the 50dBc section) are in fact below the limit. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

Response : N/A per FCC response. 2 Please provide the tune up procedure for this device or please provide an explanation as to why this device has no tune up capabilities. Please remember that the tune up procedure referred to is the factory tune up and not any tunable aspect on the user’s part. Please also remember that the tune up procedure/notice is also a separate exhibit and is not considered part of the operational description.

Please note that part 95 states, “MURS transmitters may not be operated in the continuous carrier transmit mode.” Please explain how the device meets this requirement. Response : The modulation is FSK. The device does not transmit continually. The device listens in order to determine clear air, then only transmit for 80ms then waits for a predetermined period before attempting transmission again. This is done to avoid collisions and failed communications and preserves battery life. 5 Please note that on page 10 of the report the occupied bandwidth plot shows that in the upper sideband of the mask the signal may be at the limit and possibly over the limit calculated. Please review this mask and affirm that all emissions (especially the last signal on the downward slop of the 29 log (fd 2 /11) just before the 50dBc section) are in fact below the limit. Response : We affirm that all emissions are below the limit and have provide a revised plot. Note that the maximum emissions are just under the limit. Please see the revised test report uploaded with this response.
