equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio interference regulations
of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’emit pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant
les limites applicables aus appareils numérique de las Class A prescrites dans
le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicte par le ministèredès
Communications du Canada.
