FCC CLASS A NOTICE WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void this user’s authority to operate this equipment. NOTE: The devices referenced in this manual have 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 radi- ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interfer- ence in which case the user is required to correct the interference at his own expense. DOC CLASS A NOTICE This digital apparatus does not exceed Class A limits for radio noise emission for a digital device as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils nume- riques de la class A prescrites dans le reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communica- tions du Canada. VCCI CLASS 1 NOTICE This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective actions. CE NOTICE Marking by the symbol CE indicates compliance of this system to the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) directive of the European Community and compliance to the Low Voltage (Safety) Directive. Such marking is indicative that this system meets or exceeds the following technical standards: • EN 55022 - “Limits and Methods of Measurement of Radio Interference Characteristics of Information Tech- nology Equipment.” • EN 50082-1 - “Electromagnetic compatibility - Generic immunity standard Part 1: Residential, commercial, and light industry.” • IEC 1000-4-2 - “Electromagnetic compatibility for industrial-process measurement and control equipment Part 2: Electrostatic discharge requirements.” • IEC 1000-4-3 - “Electromagnetic compatibility for industrial-process measurement and control equipment Part 3: Radiate electromagnetic field requirements.” • IEC 1000-4-4 - “Electromagnetic compatibility for industrial-process measurement and control equipment Part 4: Electrical fast transient/burst requirements.” SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS ETL certified to meet Information Technology Equipment safety standards UL 1950, CSA 22.2 No. 950, and EN 60950.
