Radio and Television Interference
This equipment has been designed and tested 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
user documentation, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Environmental Regulations
Vicon MX+ hardware is RoHS compliant. The RoHS Directive provides
that new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market for the
first time from 1 July 2006 should not contain lead, cadmium,
mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For details on the RoHS
Directive, see the RoHS section of the European Commission Web site
(http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/pdf/faq_weee.pdf) or of
the UK Government Web site (http://www.rohs.gov.uk/). For details

Safety Information
To avoid introducing a safety hazard and possibly damaging the
system, please ensure that an adequate and good-quality alternating
current (AC) power source is available. Please refer to the ratings
statement on the rear of the relevant MX unit for guidance. Also
ensure that any computers and peripheral devices are set to be
electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your
location.
When working with Vicon MX, observe these safety precautions:
• To prevent electric shock, plug all system components into
properly grounded power sources. These cables must be equipped
with three-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Ensure nothing rests on the system cables and that cables are not
located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
