FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC)
STATEMENT (Applies only
to those machines used in the U.S.)
Warning: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy
and if 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
interference 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.
