User’s Manual
FCC Warning
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.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with this user’s guide, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this
product may cause radio interference in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
VCCI Warning
This is a product of VCCI Class A Compliance.

UL Warning
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature-If installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow- Installation of the equipment in a
rack should be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading-Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading- Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over
current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing-Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power
strips).
