ginal Purchase.

ranty Period, IBM or an IBM Authonzed Dealer will provide warranty
service at no additional charge. You will receive warranty service if
this Product is (1) defective in material or workmanship or (2) other-
wise not in good working order. This warranty service will be either
repair or exchange, as determined by IBM. Warranty service does not
apply to certain Product failures. These failures .are those which result
from accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, another product, non-IBM mod-
ification, or service of the Product by other than IBM or an IBM
Authorized Dealer for this Product. Exchange service is not available
to you if the Product you present for exchange is defaced.
If this Product is a feature, warranty applies only when the feature is
used in a machine for which it was designed. To obtain warranty
service for a feature, you may be required to present the feature with
such a machine.

grams, data and removable storage media. Products and parts pro-
vided to you as a result of warranty service may not be new. However,

the replaced Products or parts become the property of IBM or the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
Warning: This equiP,ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy
and 1f not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause interference
to radio communications.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device pursuant
to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such inter-
ference when operated
in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference
in which
case the user
at his own expense will be required to take whatever
measures may
be required to correct the interference.
Instructions to User: If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
• Move the computer away from the receiver.
• Plug the computer
into a different outlet so that computer and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
Properly shielded
and grounded cables and connectors must be used
for connection
to peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits.
Proper cables are available from IBM authorized dealers. IBM is
not
responsible for any radio or television interference caused by using
other
than recommended cables or by unauthorized modifications to
this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such inter-
ference.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/teleVIsion technician for additional suggestions. The user may
find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications
Commission helpful:
