Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to Part 15 of 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 instructions 

contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television 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 THE RECEIVER

 

-  CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM  

 

  THAT OF THE RECEIVER

 

-  CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN

NOTE: 

Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B requirements, or 

using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in harmful interference to radio or 

television reception.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use 

shielded I/O cables.
