Appendix E - Regulatory Compliance
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant 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 o and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interference by one 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 dierent from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Important Note - FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radia-
tor and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or trans-
mitter.
The availability of some specic channels and/or operational frequency bands are country depen-
dent and are rmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The rmware
setting is not accessible by the end user.
