INFORMATION FOR THE USER 

 
This device complies with part 

15

 of 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 B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 

15

 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 
installed and used in accordance with the instructions contained in this data sheet, may 
cause harmful interference to radio and television 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 encouraged 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 of the receiver 
* consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician. 
 

Note:

 

Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with CLASS B 

 

requirements or using an unshielded peripheral data cable could also result in 

 

harmful interference to radio or television reception. The user is cautioned 

 

that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 

 

responsible 

 

for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. To ensure 

 

that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use 

 

shielded I/O cables. 

 

 

Warning: 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several 
components on the board. To avoid such damage in 
handling the board, take the following precautions: 
Bring the device and everything that contacts it to 
ground potential by providing a conductive surface and 
discharge paths. As a minimum, observe these 
precautions: 

 

Disconnect all power and signal sources. 

 

Place the device on a grounded conductive work surface. 

 

Ground yourself via a grounding wrist strap or by 
holding a grounded object. 

 

Ground any tool that will contact the device.
