Notice: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Zebo TM Trending and Communications, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Section 1 – Commissioning Your System System Overview The Zebo System allows for the remote monitoring and data collection of an unlimited number of various sensors thru a simple web application that our customers can view through any web enabled computer or smart phone. A series of wireless, battery powered sensors of various types are placed throughout the location to be monitored along with a single base station to which the sensors transmit. Consisting of an entirely wireless solution, installation is simple and sensor placement is flexible. The base station sends the signals and information it receives from the sensors to the web application over a cellular internet connection. The customer may view the information, adjust settings, and create alarms with the web application. Basic System Setup: 1.Register as a new user on the Zebo Web Application. This is typically done after ordering our product online during the checkout process or from the Sign In screen. 2.Register your base station, which is done by signing in to your account and clicking on 'Register a New Base Station'. 3.Activate your base station by entering the specific Base Station ID and Reference Code. 4.Assign your sensors to the new base station by pressing the “LRN” button on the base station and then powering your sensor on. Do this for each sensor to be added to the base station. 5.Install the base station and sensors throughout the location making sure each sensor is powered on. 6.Configure and customize your sensors. Sign in to your account and update settings for each sensor, assigning names and alarms according to your individual sensor placement and monitoring needs. Internet Sensors Base Station Water Temperature Electric Current Humidity Step 1. Registering a New User From the Login Page, click on the 'Register' link. Choose a User Name and check its availability. Then continue to fill in your information. The email you enter will be the address to which your User Registration Confirmation email will be sent along with your temporary Sign In password. Check your email for your temporary password and then revisit the Login Page to enter your newly created User Name and temporary password. Click LOGIN and you will be brought to your home page. Step 2. Registering a New Base Station The first step to getting your base station ready and receiving data from your sensors is to Register your New Base Station. Click on 'Register a New Base Station'. You'll see links in that tab to create both a Business Name and Location, which you will want to do first. Click on 'Create Business Name' and complete the form. Next, create a location where your new base station will be installed. Step 3. Activate Base Station When both a Business Name and Location have been completed, click back on the 'Register a New Base Station' tab. You will need the Base Station ID, found on the bottom of the base station, and the Reference Code, found in the documentation you received with your base station when you received it. Choose a Base Station Name that gives an indication of its physical location or intended purpose. Click “Submit” when finished. You will get a 'Registration Complete' message after clicking on 'Submit'. Now you will be able to see a list of business you have created in the 'Business List' tab at the top left of your screen. This is how you will navigate to your newly registered base station to view sensor data. At this point, you now have a registered user account and a registered base station ready to have sensors assigned to it. Step 4. Assigning a Sensor to a Base Station Your sensors come ready to assign/learn to a base station. The Base Station must be powered on and receiving a steady cellular signal before sensors can be learned or unlearned. LEARN 1. Power on the Base Station and wait for the Cell Status light to stop blinking and remain off meaning it has attached to a cellular network. 2. Press the 'Learn (LRN)' button on the front of the base station. The RF status light will begin to blink. 3. Within 30 seconds, hold your sensor near the base station and power it on. The base station will beep indicating that it successfully received the sensor. 4…

Dear Sirs: Zebo Trending and Communications, Inc. requests that the material in the Schematics, Operational Description, and Block diagram be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s Rules following grant of the application. In support of this request, Zebo Trending and Communications, Inc. submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES Conf BlkDia SV1_1 110518T.pdf Conf OpDes SV1_1 110518T.pdf Conf Schem SV1 _1 110518T.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set forth in the Operational Description, block diagram, and Schematics, which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: ZQQ-SV11 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, and schematic. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 913 837-3214 Page 2 of 2 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Zebo Trending and Communications, Inc.’s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Zebo Trending and Communications, Inc. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Zebo Trending and Communications, Inc. and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come.
