Certification Information

Canada and USA Regulatory Statement

This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the

United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable

North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada

and the United States.

Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,

subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003

compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to

ensure compliance to the applicable standards.

The limits set by these standards 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 guide, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely

to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to

correct the interference at his own expense.

Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the

user's authority to operate the equipment.
