FCC Class A
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies 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 in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequency energy and 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 measurers:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with
emission limits.

Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. The ICO-100 Series does not come equipped with an
operating system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap
and place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the ICO-100 Series before
making any installation. Be sure both the system and the
external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the ICO-100
Series is properly grounded.
