Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Note:

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 the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Warning:

To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must use only shielded interface cables when

EMC NOTICE FOR THE PURCHASER/USER OF THE APPARATUS

1. Applicable standards and operating environment (AW-RP120G)
The apparatus is compliant with:

• standards EN55103-1 and EN55103-2, and

• electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3, E4 and E5.

2. Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards
<1> Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special connecting cables

• The purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as peripheral equipment
to be connected to the apparatus.

• The purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.

<2> For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended purpose of the apparatus.

• Video signal connecting cables
Use double shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, for SDI
(Serial Digital Interface).
Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are recommended for analog
video signals.

• Audio signal connecting cables
If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission applications, for analog
audio signals.

• Other connecting cables (LAN, RS-422)
Use double shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications, as connecting
cables.

• When connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.

• If your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following instructions in this
manual.

3. Performance level

The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required by these standards.

However, the apparatus may be adversely affected by interference if it is being used in an EMC environment, such as an
area where strong electromagnetic fields are generated (by the presence of signal transmission towers, cellular phones,
etc.). In order to minimize the adverse effects of the interference on the apparatus in cases like this, it is recommended
that the following steps be taken with the apparatus being affected and with its operating environment:

1. Place the apparatus at a distance from the source of the interference.

2. Change the direction of the apparatus.

3. Change the connection method used for the apparatus.

4. Connect the apparatus to another power outlet where the power is not shared by any other appliances.

Network security



As you will use this unit connected to a network, your attention is called
to the following security risks.

(1) Leakage or disclosure of information transmitted via this unit
(2) Unauthorized use of this unit by a third person with malicious

intent

(3) Interference or stoppage of this unit by a third person with

malicious intent

It is your responsibility to take sufficient network security measures such
as those described below to protect yourself against the above risks.

 Use this unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
