Regulatory Compliance Notices

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 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 instructions, 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 personal expense.
