CE CONFORMANCE

This device complies with the requirements of the EEC Council 

Directives: 9/68/EEC (CE Marking); 7/2/EEC (Safety – low voltage directive); 

89/6/EEC (electromagnetic compatibility). Conformity is declared to those standards: EN0081-1, 

EN0082-1.

WARNING:

 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. 

If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual it may 

cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply 

with the limits for a Class A computing device (pursuant to subpart J of Part 1 FCC 

Rules), designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when 

operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential 

area is likely to cause interference, at which case, the user, at his own expense, will be 

required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference. 

CANADA WARNING:

 

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emis-

sions 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 limits applicables 

aux brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communications de Canada.
