Regulatory Notices
FCC Notices (USA Only)
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instruction manual, may cause interference with radio and television reception. 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference with radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.
Move the equipment away from the receiver.
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that the equipment and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a representative of ADIC or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. You may find the following booklet helpful: FCC Interference Handbook, 1996, available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
A Notice About Shielded Cables: Use only shielded cables for connecting peripherals to this device
to reduce the possibility of interference with radio and television reception. Using shielded cables
ensures that you maintain the appropriate FCC radio frequency emissions compliance (for a Class A
device) or FCC certification (for a Class B device) of this product.

IC Notice (Canada Only)
Most tape libraries are classified by the Industry Canada (IC) Interference-Causing Equipment Standard #3
(ICES-003) as Class B digital devices. To determine which classification (Class A or B) applies to your tape library,
examine all registration labels located on the bottom or the back panel of your library. A statement in the form of “IC
Class A ICES-3” or “IC Class B ICES-3” will be located on one of these labels.
Note that Industry Canada regulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the tape
library manufacturer could void your authority to operate this equipment.
This Class B (or Class A, if so indicated on the registration label) digital apparatus meets the requirements of
the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B (ou Classe A, si ainsi indiqué sur l’étiquette d’enregistration) respecte
toutes les exigences du Reglement sur le Materiel Brouilleur du Canada.
EN 55022 Compliance (Czech Republic Only)
This device belongs to category B devices as described in EN 55022, unless it is specifically stated that it is a
category A device on the specification label. The following applies to devices in category A of EN 55022 (radius of
protection up to 30 meters). The user of the device is obliged to take all steps necessary to remove sources of
interference to telecommunication or other devices.
Pokud nenÌ na typovÈm ötitku poËÌtaËe uvedeno, ûe spad· do t¯ Ìdy A podle EN 55022, spad· automaticky do
t¯ Ìdy B podle EN 55022. Pro za¯ ÌzenÌ za¯ azen· do t¯ Ìdy A (ochrannÈ p· smo 30m) podle EN 55022 platÌ
