Regulatory Information

FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class 
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide a reasonable protection against harmful interference when the 
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, 
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to 
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the 
interference at their own expense.
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.

ICES Statement

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la NMB-003 du Canada.

WEEE Statement

The following information is only for EU-members States: The mark shown 
to the right is in compliance with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 
Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE). The mark indicates the requirement NOT to 
dispose the equipment as unsorted municipal waste, but use the return and 
collection systems according to local law.

CE Statement

Meets CE (European Confomity) requirements.
