FCC and Industry Canada RF Interference Statements
Class A Digital Device (using 48V Telco type power). This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate 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 communication. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications
in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to
take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry
Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le Industrie Canada.
Class B Digital Device (using all other power options). This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 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. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one 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 an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
