FCC User Notice Sec 15.105: 
 

NOTE: 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, 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 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 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. 

 

FCC Avis utilisateur Sec 15.105:

 

 

REMARQUE: Cet équipement a été testé et trouvé conforme aux limites pour un appareil numérique de classe B, 
conformément à la partie 15 des règlements de la FCC. Ces limites sont conçues pour fournir une protection 
raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Cet équipement génère, utilise et 
peut émettre des fréquences radio et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux instructions, peut provoquer 
des interférences nuisibles aux communications radio. Cependant, il n'existe aucune garantie que ces interférences 
ne se produiront pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet équipement cause des interférences nuisibles à la 
réception radio ou télévision, qui peut être déterminé en mettant l'équipement hors tension, l'utilisateur est 
encouragé à essayer de corriger l'interférence par une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes: 
- Réorienter ou déplacer l'antenne réceptrice. 
- Augmenter la distance entre l'équipement et le récepteur. 
- Connecter l'équipement à une sortie sur un circuit différent de celui auquel le récepteur est connecté. 
- Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien radio / TV qualifié.
