Federal Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations
has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-
free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers,
generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered
by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two
classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are
those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires
devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the
device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into.
Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is
determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.
Class A Equipment
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
