RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 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. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to connect this device to a
personal computer or other Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emis sion from digital apparatus
set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
