Description
Regulatory Notices
INSTRUCTION TO THE USER
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this
equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in
interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the
equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications compliance statement:
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits per radio noise emissions for digital apparatus set out in
the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications. Operation in a
residential area may cause unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or
operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Avis de conformite aux normes du ministere des Communications du Canada:
Cet equipment ne depasse pas les limites de Classe B D'emission de bruits radioelectriques pour les
appareils numeriques telles que perscrites par le Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique etabli par le
ministere des Communications du Canada. L'exploitation faite en milieu residentiel peut entrainer le
brouillage des receptions radio et television, ce qui olbigerait le proprietaire ou l'operateur a prendre les
dispositions necessaires pour en eliminer les causes.
