EN 55022 Class A
z
Warning!
This is a Class A device. This equip-
ment may cause radio interference if
used in a residential area; in this
case it is the operator s responsibili-
ty to take appropriate measures.
The precondition for compliance
with EMC limit values is strict adhe-
rence to the construction guidelines
specified in this description and
operating instructions.
FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A digi-
tal device, persuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency 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 inter-
ference at his own expense.
