SAFETY NOTICE

FCC Warning

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed in

accordance with the instructions contained herein, may cause interference to radio communications.

It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to

Subpart J of Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission rules, which are designed to

provide reasonable protection against such interference, when operating in a commercial

environment.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference. In this case, the user

is required to take whatever measures are necessary to correct the interference at the user’s

expense.

If radio frequency interference is encountered after the installation of this equipment, corrective

measures are required to reduce the interference. Information on recommended measures can be

obtained from the manufacturer.
