FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing 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 to radio communications.  Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to 

cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.  

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits.  This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B 

limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of 

Communications. 

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B 

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
