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.
NOTE: 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.
You are cautioned that any change or modifications to the equipment not expressly
approve by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate
such equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

NOTE:
The TANK-700 provides two pairs of combo LANs. For each pair of
combo LAN, only one LAN port can work at one time, and the SFP
Fiber port works prior to the RJ-45 one. When a LAN port is working,
the corresponding LED indicator lights up. Refer to Section 1.6 for the
locations of the LED indicators.
1.6 LED Indicators
There are several indicators on the front panel of the TANK-700 as shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4: TANK-700 LED Indicators
WARNING:
The CPU Temperature Alert LED turns red when the CPU temperature
is too high. If this situation occurs, lower the environment temperature
or close some running applications to cool down the CPU.
