Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer has been
designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•
Reorient the receiving antenna.
•
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
•
Move the computer away from the receiver.
•
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Dell™ computers are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic
environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally refer to the
following harmonized definitions:
•
Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
•
Class B is typically for residential environments.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including devices, expansion cards, printers,
input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into or connected to the
computer should match the electromagnetic environment classification of the computer.
Most Dell computers are classified for Class B environments. However, the inclusion of
certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine the
electromagnetic classification for your computer or device, see the following sections specific
for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific EMC/EMI or product
safety information.
FCC Notices (U.S. Only)
Most Dell computers are classified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as
Class B digital devices. To determine which classification applies to your computer, examine
all FCC registration labels located on the bottom, side, or back panel of your computer, on
card-mounting brackets, and on the cards themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class
A rating, your entire computer is considered to be a Class A digital device. If all labels carry
an FCC Class B rating as distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo,
(
), your computer is considered to be a Class B digital device.
Once you have determined your computer's FCC classification, read the appropriate FCC
notice. Note that FCC regulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Dell could void your authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interference.
•
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
