Regulatory compliance

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.

Class A 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. This

equipment 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.
