Electronic Emission Notices

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.
