Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility
USA FCC CLASS A
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
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 environment. Like
all similar equipment, 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 residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
