MS-98E1   

CE Conformity

Hereby, Micro-Star International CO., LTD declares that this device 

is in compliance with the essential safety requirements and other 

relevant provisions set out in the European Directive. 

FCC-B Radio Frequency 

Interference Statement

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 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 encouraged 

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the measures listed below:

 

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/television technician for 

help.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice 2
Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to 

comply with the emission limits.
This device complies with Part 15 of the 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.

WEEE Statement

Under the European Union (“EU”) Directive on Waste Electrical and 

Electronic  Equipment,  Directive  2002/96/EC,  which  takes  effect  on 

August 13, 2005, products of “electrical and electronic equipment” 

cannot be discarded as municipal waste anymore and manufacturers of covered 

electronic equipment will be obligated to take back such products at the end of 

their useful life.
