DocuSign Envelope ID: FF504D73-A17D-4D7C-A53A-937C4A1E1E5A Request for Confidentiality May 20, 2016 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: XRAFB407, 8542A-FB407 Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and/or RSP-100, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC and/or IC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent*1 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 Fitbit, Inc. 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. 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.” Fitbit, Inc. 405 Howard Street, Suite 550 | San Francisco, CA 94105 www.fitbit.com

Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing.
