Federal Communications Commission notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many
electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral
devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are
those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment.
Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential
environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label
indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the
user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on
the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.
