Hereby, we declare that this device is in compliance with the essential
safety requirements and other relevant provisions set out in the Euro-
pean Directive.
FCC-A Radio Frequency Interference Statement
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 envi-
ronment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Notice 1
The changes or modificationsnot expressly approved by the party respon-sible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equip-ment.

the notch on the DIMM with the
key on the slot and insert the
DIMM into the slot.
2. Push the DIMM gently downwards
until the slot levers click and lock
the DIMM in place.
3. To uninstall the DIMM, flip the slot levers outwards and the
DIMM will be released instantly.
