3. GPS Protocol Please see the document of L10_GPS_Protocol. 4. Compliance with FCC Regulations FCC Section 15.21 Information to the user Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Section 15.19 Labelling requirements 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. When the L10 is integrated into a final product, the FCC ID label must be visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel，door or cover is easily removed. If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text：“Contains FCC ID：XMR-16182009003 ” L10 FCC label is shown as： Section 15.105 (b) Note: 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. However, 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 measures: --Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. --Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. --Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. --Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
