The measurement equipment conforms to ANSI C63.2 Specifications for Electromagnetic Noise and field Strength Instrumentation. Calibration checks are made periodically to verify proper performance of the measuring instrumentation. All measurements are performed at Washington Laboratories, Ltd. test center in Gaithersburg, MD. Site description and site attenuation data have been placed on file with the FCC's Sampling and Measurements Branch at the FCC laboratory in Columbia, MD. Washington Laboratories, Ltd. has been accepted by the FCC and approved by NIST NVLAP (NVLAP Lab Code: 200066-0) as an independent FCC test laboratory. All results reported herein relate only to the equipment tested. The measurement uncertainty of the data contained herein is ±2.3 dB. Refer to Appendix A for Statement of Measurement Uncertainty. This report shall not be used to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any agency of the US Government. 1.1 Summary The ILJ Corporation CM-67 Club Minder complies with the limits for a Periodic Intentional Radiator under Part 15.231(e) of the FCC Rules and Regulations. 2.0 Description of Equipment Under Test (EUT) The ILJ Corporation Club-Minder CM67 (EUT) is a device that is designed to prevent golfers from losing their clubs or leaving them behind when moving from one playing hole to another. The EUT a low power intentional radiator used in conjunction with a receiver. The receiver is clipped to the belt of a golfer. The transmitter is contained within a divot repair tool that a golf club handle rests upon. The transmitter transmits for a duration of 0.3 seconds every 10 seconds and if the belt clip receiver travels out of range of the signal an alarm is sounded. 2.1 On-board Oscillators The ILJ Corporation CM-67 Club Minder contains the following oscillators: 32.768kHz, 315MHz SAW Oscillator.

3.0 Test Configuration To complete the test configuration required by the FCC, the EUT was set for continuous transmission. The EUT was tested in all three orthogonal planes. All testing was performed with a fully charged 3VDC battery. Worst case emissions are recorded in the data tables. 3.1 Conducted Emissions Testing The EUT is a stand-alone, battery powered unit. Therefore, no conducted emissions testing were required. 3.2 Radiated Emissions Testing The EUT was placed on an 80 cm high 1 x 1.5 meters non-conductive motorized turntable for radiated testing on a 3 meter open field test site. The emissions from the EUT were measured continuously at every azimuth by rotating the turntable. Biconical and log periodic broadband antennas were mounted on an antenna mast to determine the height of maximum emissions. The height of the antenna was varied between 1 and 4 meters. The peripherals were placed on the table in accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992. Cables were varied in position to produce maximum emissions. Both the horizontal and vertical field components were measured. The output from the antenna was connected, via a preamplifier, to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The detector function was set to quasi-peak or peak, as appropriate. The measurement bandwidth on the spectrum analyzer system was set to at least 120 kHz, with all post-detector filtering no less than 10 times the measurement bandwidth. 3.3.1 Radiated Data Reduction and Reporting To convert the raw spectrum analyzer radiated data into a form that can be compared with the FCC limits, it is necessary to account for various calibration factors that are supplied with the antennas and other measurement accessories. These factors are grouped into a composite antenna factor (AFc) and are supplied in the AFc column of Table 1. The AFc in dB/m is algebraically added to the Spectrum Analyzer Voltage in dbµV to obtain the Radiated Electric Field in dBµV/m. This level is then compared with the FCC limit. Example: Spectrum Analyzer Voltage: VdBµV Composite Antenna Factor: AFcdB/m Electric Field: EdBµV/m = VdBµV + AFcdB/m To convert to linear units: EµV/m = antilog (EdBµV/m/20) Data is recorded in Table 1.

EXHIBIT 1 DUTY CYCLE CALCULATIONS The following page shows spectrum analyzer plots of the transmitter coding. The following calculations show the worst-case 100 ms duty cycle correction used for calculating the average level of the carrier, harmonics, and emissions. Plot 1 shows that the transmitter has a pulse train period of 10.2 ms and consists of varying lengths of pulses. The various pulse widths are measured on Plot 2. From this plot, the following duty cycle correction factor is calculated. ON TIME PER PULSE TRAIN: (2 x 1.44ms) + (1 x 980 us) + (1 x 420 us) = 4.28 ms ON TIME PER 10.2 ms Pulse Train = 4.28 ms/10.2 ms = 0.4196 Duty Cycle = 41.9% Duty Cycle = -7.5 dB AFd ILJ Corporation FCC ID:PMM8046480565 WLL Project #:5911X 5

Appendix A Statement of Measurement Uncertainty For the purposes of the measurements performed by Washington Laboratories, the measurement uncertainty is ±2.3 dB. This has been calculated for a worst-case situation (radiated emissions measurements performed on an open area test site). The following measurement uncertainty calculation is provided: Total Uncertainty = (A2 + B2 + C2)1/2/(n-1) where: A = Antenna calibration uncertainty, in dB = 2 dB B = Spectrum Analyzer uncertainty, in dB = 1 dB C = Site uncertainty, in dB = 4 dB n = number of factors in uncertainty calculation = 3 Thus, Total Uncertainty = 0.5 (22 + 12 + 42)1/2 = ±2.3 dB.
