FCC Part 15 Information
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operations.
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 commercial environment. This equipment

iv
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.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio/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 the
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. Shielded RS-232 cables are required to be
used to ensure compliance with FCC Part 15, and it is the
responsibility of the user to provide and use shielded RS-232
cables.
Information for Canadian Users
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety
requirements. The Industry Canada does not guarantee that the
equipment will operate to a user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

v
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly. The customer should be aware that the compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in
some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and
internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the radio
interference regulations of Industry Canada. The declarations of
