FCC Class B and CE Compliance
WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a CLASS B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the 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 par-
ticular 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: 1) reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver; 3) connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that of the receiver; 4) 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.
This product also complies with European CE requirements.
