Conformité FCC
Cet équipement a été testé et prouvé conforme aux exigences d’un appareil
numérique de classe B selon l’Article 15 du règlement FCC. Ces exigences
sont conçues pour fournir une protection suffisante contre toute interférence
nuisible dans une zone résidentielle. Cet équipement génère, utilise et peut
émettre de l’énergie à radiofréquence. S’il n’est pas installé et utilisé selon les
instructions du fabricant, il peut provoquer des interférences nuisibles avec les
communications radio. Cependant, il n’existe aucune garantie que ces
interférences ne puissent survenir dans un environnement particulier. Si cet
équipement occasionne des interférences nuisibles à la réception de radio ou
de télévision (déterminé par la mise sous et hors tension de l’appareil), il est
conseillé à l’utilisateur d’essayer de corriger l’interférence à l’aide de l’une des
méthodes suivantes :
•Réorienter ou replacer l’antenne de l’unité de réception ;
•Augmenter la distance entre l’équipement et le récepteur ;
•Connecter l’équipement à une prise électrique différente de celle du
récepteur ;
•Consulter un technicien certifié de radio ou télévision pour obtenir de
l’aide.
ATTENTION :tout changement ou modification non autorisée
expressément par le fabricant de cet appareil annulera
l’autorité de l’utilisateur à manipuler l’équipement.
Les articles de loi L44.5 et 44.6 du code de la Santé publique,
modifiés par l’article 2 de la loi du 28 mai 1996 imposent une
puissance acoustique maximale de 100 décibels. Le casque livré
(référence ARCHOS 100200) et l’appareil respectent la législation en
vigueur.(NF/EN 50332-1).
ATTENTION, à pleine puissance, l’écoute prolongée du baladeur
peut endommager l’oreille de l’utilisateur.
Article 15 de la FCC –L’exploitation est sujette aux deux conditions
suivantes :
1. Cet appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférence nuisible ;
2. Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence de réception, y compris
celles pouvant causer une opération non souhaitée.
