FCC Class A Information
The DMG 3200/3100/3000 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 his or her own expense.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with the Class A FCC
limits.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

WARNING
PLEASE OBSERVE THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
There is always a danger present when using electronic
equipment.
Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective equipment
and signal distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment that you are
working with and observe the following safety precautions.
•Every precaution has been taken in the design of your 3200/3100/3000 to ensure
that it is as safe as possible. However, safe operation depends on you the
operator.
•Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points of
connection are secure to the chassis and that protective covers are in place and
secured with fasteners.
•Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another
person close by in case of an accident.
•Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the
application or operation call SENCORE for assistance.
•Never allow your equipment to be exposed to water or high moisture
environments. If exposed to a liquid, remove power safely (at the breaker) and
send your equipment to be serviced by a qualified technician.
