Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility

USA FCC Class A

Warning:

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the manufacturer

could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Like all similar equipment, this equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference,
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.

Canadian Department of Communications Class A

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

Le present appareil numerique n'met pas du bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numerique de la Class A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage
radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communications du Canada.
