regulatory compliance identification numbers
For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and
identification, your product has been assigned a unique HP series
number. The series number can be found on the product nameplate
label, along with all required approval markings and information.
When requesting compliance information for this product, always
refer to this series number. The series number should not be confused
with the marketing name or model number of the product.
federal communications commission notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to
provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many
electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy
incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by
these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral
devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended
installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment.
Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The
FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the
interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the
equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on
the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the
label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the
following corresponding statement.

class A equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply 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 when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. 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. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at personal expense.
class B equipment
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 or television
technician for help.
