FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential 

installation. 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.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 

is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

Notice:

1.   The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-

ance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2.  Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
