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 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 Regulatory EMC representative of GLOBAL VR or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. You may find the FCC Interference Handbook, to be helpful. It is
available from the U.S. Government Print Office, Washington, DC 20402.
This device has been tested and complies with the limits for a 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 manual, may cause harmful
interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interference.
•
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
