WARNING
“This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.” “Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits
radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques (de las
class A) prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le
ministere des Communications du Canada.”
WARNING
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed and used as directed by this manual, it may cause interference to radio
communication. This equipment complies with the limits for a Class A computing
device, as specified by FCC Rules, Part 15, Subpart J, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when this type of equipment is oper-
ated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause interference. If it does, the user will be required to eliminate the
interference at the user’s expense.
IMPORTANT
Perform the installation under static control conditions. Simply walking across a rug can
generate a static charge of 20,000 volts. This is the spark or shock you may have felt when
touching a doorknob or some other conductive item. A much smaller static discharge is likely to
completely destroy one or more of the CMOS semiconductors employed in OPTIMOD-FM or
the software module. Static damage will not be covered under warranty.
There are many common sources of static. Most involve some type of friction between two
dissimilar materials. Some examples are combing your hair, sliding across a seat cover or
rolling a cart across the floor. Since the threshold of human perception for a static discharge is
3000 volts, many damaging discharges will not even be noticed.
Basic damage prevention consists of minimizing generation, discharging any accumulated
static charge on your body or work station and preventing that discharge from being sent to or
through an electronic component. A static grounding strap (grounded through a protective
resistor) and a static safe workbench with a conductive surface should be used. This will prevent
any buildup of damaging static.
