Patton
Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties, expressed or
implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be deemed an
acceptance of these terms by the user. In the event the user detects
intermittent or continuous product malfunction due to nearby high
power transmitting radio frequency equipment, the user is strongly
advised to take the following steps: use only data cables with an
external outer shield bonded to a metal or metalized connector; and,
configure the rear card as shown in section 3.3. of this manual.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 2500 Series generates and uses radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause
interference to radio and television reception. The Model 2500 Series
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of
Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection from such interference in a commercial installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the Model 2500 Series does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by disconnecting the cables, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the
computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving
antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC
outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different
branches).In the event the user detects intermittent or continuous
product malfunction due to nearby high power transmitting radio
frequency equipment, the user is strongly advised to take the following
steps: use only data cables with an external outer shield bonded to a
metal or metalized connector; and, configure the rear card as shown in
section 3.3.1 of this manual.
