for radio frequency exposure. Nevertheless, the component should be used in
such a way that potential contact with persons during normal operation is
kept to a minimum.
NOTE! Classification for Canada
This Class B digital component complies with Canadian standard ICES-003.

Version 6.1
G-30-1706-en Page 9
14-Function Foot Control Panel, Wired or Wireless Safety measures
NOTE! Limit values and what to do in the event of interference with digital
equipment
This component has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device in accordance with Part 15 of FCC regulations. These
limits have been stipulated to provide adequate protection against harmful
exposure when the component is operated in residential areas. This
component generates and uses radio frequency energy and may emit such
energy. If it is not installed and used in compliance with the relevant
instructions, it can cause harmful interference in the radio communication.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this component causes interference with radio and TV
reception, which can be determined by turning the component off and on,
the user should try to correct the interference by one or several of the
following measures:
–Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
–Move the component further away from the receiver.
–Plug the component into a different outlet so that it is not on the same
circuit as the receiver.
–Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE! Part 15 of FCC regulations
This component complies with Part 15 of FCC regulations [and with the
Industry Canada RSS-210 standard].
Operation of the component is subject to the following two conditions:
–the components may not cause any harmful interference and
–the component must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE! Modification or conversion
Modifications or conversions that are not explicitly approved by ZEISS will
invalidate the FCC approval for the operation of this component.
