FCC 15B Class B satisfied.
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.

Warning –

This equipment has been certified to

comply with the limits for a Class B personal
computer and peripherals, pursuant to Subpart B of
Part 15 of FCC Rules. Only peripherals (computer
input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.)
certified to comply with the Class B limits may be
attached to this equipment. Operation with
non-certified personal computer and/or peripherals
is likely to result in interference to radio and TV
reception. The connection of a non-shielded
equipment interface cable to this equipment will
invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and
may cause interference levels which exceed the
limits established by the FCC for this equipment.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the
equipment.
