COMPLIANCE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC. 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: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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.
Theses 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
Important note: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, no change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change
to the antenna or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF
exposure requirements and void user ’s authority to operate the device.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with ICES-005 of Canada.
