[[Page 781]]





    Note: 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 instruction manual, 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.



    (b) For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions 

furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, 

placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual:



    Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 

against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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. However, there is no 

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, 

the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 

of the following measures:

--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that 

to which the receiver is connected.

--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.



    (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section do not 

apply to digital devices exempted from the technical standards under the 

provisions of Sec. 15.103.

    (d) For systems incorporating several digital devices, the statement 

shown in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section needs to be contained only 

in the instruction manual for the main control unit.

    (e) In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than 

paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information 

required by this section may be included in the manual in that 

alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have 

the capability to access information in that form.
