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 (for example, 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 the classification (A or B) of the equipment.
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. After the class of the device is determined, refer
to the corresponding statement in the sections below.

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.

Class B Equipment

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. These 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:
