party responsible for compliance could void the userÕs authority to operate the equipment.

 

VCCI Notice

 

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by 
Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, 
radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective 
actions.

 

Industry Canada Notice

 

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital 
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of 
Communications.

Le prŽsent appareil numŽrique n'Žmet pas de bruits radioŽlectriques dŽpassant les limites applicables 
aux appareils numŽriques de la class A prescrites dans le R•glement sur le brouillage radioŽlectrique
