FCC statement
The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly— that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to the specifications in Part 15 of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether your computer is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.
If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
m Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
mMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.
m Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
mPlug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
mInstall a rooftop television antenna with a coaxial cable leadin between the antenna and the television.
If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for assistance. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or contact an experienced radio-television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful the following booklet, prepared by the FCC:
Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00493-1). This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
IMPORTANT Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the FCC certification and negate your authority to operate the product. This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. For Apple peripheral devices, you can obtain the proper shielded cables through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

About this communications card
The Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card expands the communications capabilities of models of Macintosh computers that have a communications slot (CS). The card is designed for networks that conform to the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet. To connect to an Ethernet network, you must also install EtherTalk software, which is included with the card.
After adding the card and installing EtherTalk software, you connect to your network by attaching the network cable to the card’s thin coaxial (“coax”) port using the T-connector provided with the card. If your computer is physically located in the first or last position on your network, you’ll need to attach a terminator to one end of the cable’s BNC-style T-connector. This guide provides complete instructions for connecting the card and cable.
The Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card works only with Macintosh System 7 or later. For best performance your system should have at least 4 megabytes (MB) of randomaccess memory.

■User’s guide
Note: You’ll need to obtain the thin coax cable for your network separately. If you’re adding your computer to the end of the network, you’ll also need to obtain a standard thin coax terminator. (The special 5-pack version of the card includes two thin coax terminators.)
WARNING To avoid damage to the card and to your other computer equipment, be sure that you’ve turned off power to the computer before beginning installation procedures.
