Regulatory Notices
INSTRUCTION TO THE USER
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.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment.
Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio
and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without
the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications compliance statement:
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits per radio noise emissions for digital apparatus set out in
the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications. Operation in a
residential area may cause unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or
operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Avis de conformite aux normes du ministere des Communications du Canada:
Cet equipment ne depasse pas les limites de Classe B D'emission de bruits radioelectriques pour les
appareils numeriques telles que perscrites par le Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique etabli par le
ministere des Communications du Canada. L'exploitation faite en milieu residentiel peut entrainer le
brouillage des receptions radio et television, ce qui olbigerait le proprietaire ou l'operateur a prendre les
dispositions necessaires pour en eliminer les causes.
Complies with EU Low Voltage Directive:
EN 60065:2002 + A1:2006 + A11:2008 + A2:2011 + A12:2011 – Audio, video and similar electronic
apparatus – Safety requirements.

Figure 6. Network DHCP Screen
The DHCP screen displays the IP address assigned by the DHCP server after a system reset. The
addresses shown on the screen are the current settings for the Network IP address, Network Mask
address, Gateway address, and addresses for DNS1 and DNS2. The addresses are displayed whether or
not they were set statically by the LS10 or retrieved from the DHCP server.
Note: If the IP address is not seen in the DHCP mode, it means the unit is not connected
to the network.
Press Save to confirm changes to the network configuration. If changes are not saved, the previous
configuration will display after turning power off and on again from the rear power switch. After Saving
and cycling the power from the rear power switch, the changes will display.
Figure 7. Network Static Screen
On the Static screen, enter the static addresses for IP Address, Network mask, Gateway, and DNS. If
DNS1 cannot be accessed, DNS2 will be used, so either one may be selected.
If Static is selected and saved, the LS10 will (upon reset) use the network configuration address entered
for Network IP address, Network Mask address, Gateway address, and DNS.
