Subject: Request for Long-Term Confidentiality – Internal Photos and User Manual
FCC ID: S491225S5SSRXT
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to KDB 726920 D01, GroundProbe Pty Ltd (“GroundProbe”) requests Long-term confidentiality for the
User Manual and Internal photos associated with this application. As a general matter, these materials contain
detailed system descriptions, proprietary design information, and technical content that GroundProbe considers
to be confidential and commercially sensitive.
GroundProbe maintains strict control over the internal photos and user manual. Access to these materials is
limited to authorized personnel on a ‘need to know’ and is governed by contractual obligations upon sale or lease
of the device. The user manual clearly states its confidential nature, specifies that it is intended only for licensed
and trained users, and prohibits distributing to any third parties. Upon termination or expiry of agreement, all
GroundProbe property must be returned, including the user manual.
The circuit boards and internal components of the unit are not accessible to the general public. As part of the
agreement GroundProbe prohibits the disassembly or reverse engineering of the unit. Any servicing or
maintenance of the device must be by professional and authorized technicians.
All sales and leases of the devices are conducted under NDA, and all products leased or sold must be
accompanied by a maintenance and support (M&S) plan. The NDA includes provisions restricting disclosure of
confidential information and intellectual property. Relevant clauses are taken from GroundProbe general terms
and conditions for the Slope Stability Radar contracts related to non-disclosure of confidential information and
IP.
