The following informati on is for F CC compli an ce of Class A device s: This eq uipment has been teste d and found t o co mply wit h the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to pa rt 15 of th e FCC rul es. Thes e limits ar e design ed to prov ide re asona ble prote cti on agai nst harmf ul i nt erferenc e 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 inst ruction ma nua l, may ca use harmf ul interfer ence to ra dio com muni cations. Oper atio n of this e quipme nt in a resident i al area is
likely to cause harmful interfe rence , in whi ch case users will be require d to corr ect the int erfer ence a t their own expen se.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may rad i at e radio-fre q uency
energy. If it is not installed i n accor dance wi th Cisco’ s install ati on ins tructi ons, it may caus e interfere nce wit h ra dio and telev ision re cept ion. T his
equipmen t has bee n teste d and fo und to co mply with the limits f or a Cla ss B di gital device in acco rdan ce with th e spec ific atio ns in part 15 of the FCC rules.
These specifications are designed to provi de reason able pr otec tion agains t su ch interf erenc e in a resid ential installati on. Ho we ver, there i s no gu a r an tee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment wit hout C isco’s w ritten authoriza tion may r esult in the e quipme nt no longer c omplyi ng with F CC requ irements for Class A or
Class B digital devices. In tha t event, your right to use the equipme nt may be limited by FCC re gulati ons, and you may be re quired to correct any
interference to radio or tele vision c ommun icati ons at your o wn e xpense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment
or one of its peripheral devices. If the equi pment caus es int erferenc e to rad io or televi sion recepti on, try to correc t the inte r fe rence by using one or more
of the following measures :

• Turn the television or radio ant enna unt il the int erferenc e st ops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the ot her of the tel evisi on or radi o.

• Move the equipment farther awa y fr om the televi sion or ra dio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio
are on circuits controlled by diff erent circ uit break ers or fuses.)
