1.3 FCC & ICES compliance
FCC & ICES Information
(U.S.A. and Canadian Models Only)
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:
– 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.
Intentional or unintentional modifications, not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance, shall not be
made. Any such modifications could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. If necessary, the user should consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
corrective action.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the
Federal Communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify
and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

Informations FCC et ICES
(modèles utilisés aux États-Unis et au Canada uniquement)
Suite à différents tests, cet appareil s'est révélé conforme aux
exigences imposées aux appareils numériques de classe B, en
vertu de la section 15 du règlement de la Commission fédérale
des communications des États-Unis (FCC), et en vertu de la
norme ICES-003 d'Industrie Canada. Ces exigences visent à
fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
nuisibles lorsque l'appareil est utilisé dans le cadre d'une
installation résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et émet
de l'énergie de radiofréquences et peut, en cas d'installation ou
d'utilisation non conforme aux instructions, engendrer des
interférences nuisibles au niveau des radiocommunications.
Toutefois, rien ne garantit l'absence d'interférences dans une
installation particulière. Il est possible de déterminer la
production d'interférences en mettant l'appareil
successivement hors et sous tension, tout en contrôlant la
réception radio ou télévision. L'utilisateur peut parvenir à
éliminer les interférences éventuelles en prenant une ou
plusieurs des mesures suivantes:
– Modifier l'orientation ou l'emplacement de l'antenne
réceptrice;
– Éloigner l'appareil du récepteur;
– Brancher l'appareil sur une prise située sur un circuit
différent de celui du récepteur;
– Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien qualifié en radio/
télévision pour obtenir de l'aide.
Toute modification apportée au produit, non expressément
approuvée par la partie responsable de l'appareil, est
strictement interdite. Une telle modification est susceptible
d'entraîner la révocation du droit d'utilisation de l'appareil.
La brochure suivante, publiée par la Commission fédérale des
communications (FCC), peut s'avérer utile : How to Identify and
Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. Cette brochure est
disponible auprès du U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402, États-Unis, sous la référence n° 004-
