Compliance and Approval
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15, Subpart B of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. It may cause harmful interference to radio
communications if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. If this occurs, the user will be required to correct the interference at his or her
own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Connections between the Harmonic equipment and other equipment must be made in a manner that is consistent with maintaining
compliance with FCC radio frequency emission limits. Modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Harmonic may void
the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
