The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: 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 the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC complia nce of Class B devices: The equi pment des cribed in this manual generates and may rad iate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation 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 in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment wit hou t Cisco’s written autho riz atio n may resul t in the equi pme nt no longe r comply ing with FCC re quir ements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipm ent may be lim ited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communicati ons at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing int erferen ce by turning it off. If the inter ference stop s, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interferenc e stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio .

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circ uit from the tel evision or radio. (That is, make certain the equip ment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circui t breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not auth orized by Cisco Sys tems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your auth ority to op erate the prod uct.
