Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If you do not install and use this equipment according to the instruction manual, this product may interfere with radio communications. This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device, pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Operating this equipment in a residential area is likely to interfere with radio communications; in which case, the user, at his/her own expense, must correct the interference.

Shielded-compliant cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with the Class A limits.

European Requirements Only

EN 55 022 Declaration of Conformance

This is to certify that the Bay Networks products in this book are shielded against the generation of radio interference in accordance with the application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC, Article 4a. Conformity is declared by the application of EN 55 022:1987 Class A (CISPR 22:1985/BS 6527:1988).

This is a Class A product. In a domestic en vironment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) Statement

This equipment is in the 1st category (information equipment to be used in commercial and/or industrial areas) and conforms to the standards set by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Data Processing Equipment and Electronic Ofﬁce Machines that are aimed at preventing radio interference in commercial and/or industrial areas.

Consequently, when this equipment is used in a residential area or in an adjacent area thereto, radio interference may be caused to equipment such as radios and TV receivers.

Compliance with the applicable regulations is dependent upon the use of shielded cables. The user is responsible for procuring the appropriate cables. Read instructions for correct handling.

Canada CS-03 Rules and Regulations

Note:

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiﬁes certiﬁed equipment. The certiﬁcation means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operations and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certiﬁed connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent the degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certiﬁed equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution:

inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Note:

qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du service de télécommunications local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé selon des méthodes acceptées. Dans certains cas, le câblage interne du service de télécommunications utilisé pour une ligne individuelle peut être allongé au moyen d’un connecteur certiﬁé (prolongateur téléphonique). Le client doit toutefois prendre note qu’une telle installation n’assure pas un service parfait en tout temps.

Les réparations de l’appareillage certiﬁé devraient être conﬁées à un service d’entretien canadien désigné par le fournisseur. En cas de réparation ou de modiﬁcation effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut demander le débranchment de l’appareillage.

Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises à la terre des lignes de distribution d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et de la tuyauterie métallique interne sont raccordées ensemble. Cette mesure de sécurité est particulièrement importante en milieu rural.

Attention:

aux pouvoirs de réglementation en cause ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
