likely to cause har mful inte rfere nce , in which case users will be required to c orrect t he inter ferenc e at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compli ance of Class B devi ces: The equipment de scribe d in this manual generates and may radiat e radio-frequen cy
energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installati on instr ucti ons, it may cause interference with radio and television reception . This
equipment has be en tested and found to c ompl y with the limits for a Class B digital device i n accordance wit h the specifica tions in part 15 of the FCC rules.
These s pe cifi cations are designed to provi de reasonable protec tion agains t such interference i n a residential installati on. However , there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorizat ion may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirement s for Class A or
Class B digit al devices. In that event, your right to use t he equipment may b e limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any
interference to radio or t ele vision communications at your own expense.

You can determine whet her yo ur equipment is causing i nterfe re nce by turning it off. If the int er fer ence s t ops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment
or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interf erenc e to radio or television reception, try to correct the interfe rence by using one ormore
of the follow in g measure s:

• Turn the televis ion or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipm ent to one side or the other of the televisi on or radio.

• Move the equipm ent farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet th at i s on a different circuit from the televis ion or ra dio. (That i s, make certa in the equi pmen t and the television orradio
are on circuits controlled b y d ifferent circuit breakers or fus es.)

Modifications to this product not a u thori zed by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.
