considered to be a Class B digital device.

the electromagnetic classification for your system or device, refer to the following

FCC Notices (U.S. Only)

Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal Communications Commis-

bottom or back panel of your computer, on card-mounting brackets, and on the cards
themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class A rating, your entire system is con-
