FCC Part 15 Regulatory Statement 

 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 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's  manual,  may  cause  interference  to  radio  communications.  Operation  of  this 
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be required to 
correct  the  interference  at  their  own  expense.  The  user  is  cautioned  that  changes  and  modifications 
made to the equipment without approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate 
this  equipment.  The  user  should  use  only  shielded  and/or  grounded  cables  to  combat  sources  of 
interference.
