Re gulatory compliance

Federa l Commu nications Commission (FCC ) notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations

has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-fre e

radio frequ ency spectrum. Ma ny electronic devices, including computers, generate R F

energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules.

These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into t wo 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., p ersonal 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 log o 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.

Class A equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Par t 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in

acomm

ercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, a nd can radiate radio

freq

uency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may c

ause harmful interference to radio communications. O peration of this equipment

in a residential a rea is likely to cause harmful interference, in which c ase the user will

be required to correct the interference at personal expense.
