Important Information

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference in radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for class B computing devices in accordance with the specification in subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial installation. If this equipment does cause 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 the receiving antenna,

Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver,

Move the peripheral away from the receiver

Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peripheral and receiver are on different branch circuits

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.

This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4.

WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable must be shielded. To assure compliance with FCC regulations for a computing device, use a shielded interface cable with a metal shell connector. The use of cables not properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian department of communications.

This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983

ATTENTION: Le présent appareil numérique n’ement pas de bruits radioélectriques déspassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le minstère des communications du Canada.
