FCC Compliance Statement: 

“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.” 

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 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. Opera-

tion 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 this own expense.

In the event that you experience Radio Frequency Interference, you should take the following steps to resolve the problem: 

1) 

Ensure that the case of your attached drive is grounded. 

2) 

Use a data cable with RFI reducing ferrites on each end. 

3) 

Use a power supply with an RFI reducing ferrite approximately 5 inches from the DC plug.

4) 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
