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 com pliance of Class B devices: T he equipm ent descr ibed in this manual gener ates and may radiate

radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instruct ions , it may cause interf eren ce with radio an d televi sion 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 t o provid e reasonable pr otection against such interference in a reside ntial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without C isco’s written au thori zatio n may res ult in the e quipm ent no lon ger comply ing with FC C re quirem ents for Clas s A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equi pment ma y be lim ited by FCC regul ations , and you m ay be req uire d to cor re ct any interference to radio or television com municat ions at yo ur own expen se.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing in terfer ence by turning it off. If the interfer ence stops, it was pr obably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television recept ion, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following meas ures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until th e interfe rence stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the oth er of the tel evision or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away fro m the televi sion or rad io.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the televi sion or radio. (That is, make certai n the equipment and the television

or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit br eakers or fus es.)
