Compliance  

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning 
of radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio 
communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal 
Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computer systems, contribute to 
the electromagnetic environment. 

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this 
computer system/peripheral equipment 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: 

l

Reorient the receiving antenna.  

l

Relocate the computer/peripheral equipment with respect to the receiver.  

l

Move the compter/peripheral equipment away from the receiver.  

l

Plug the computer/peripheral equipment into a different outlet so that the computer/peripheral equipment 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™ products are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications 

generally refer to the following harmonized definitions: 

l

Class A

 is typically for business environments. Class B products may also be utilized in a Class A environment.  

l

Class B

 is typically for residential environments. Class A products should not be utilized in a Class B environment.  

Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including peripherals, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated 
into or connected to the system should match the electromagnetic environment classification of the computer system. 

 A Notice about Shielded Signal Cables:

 Use only shielded cables for connecting peripherals to any Dell™ device to reduce the possibility of interference 

with radio communications services. Using shielded cables ensures that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment. If you 

prefer, you can order a cable from Dell™ on the World Wide Web at 

www.dell.com

.
