    Regulation & safety notices
    This	appendix	lists	the	general	notices	of	your	Acer	Projector.	
    FCC notice 
    This	device	 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 	device 	generates, 	uses, 	and 	can 	radiate 	radio 	frequency 	en
    -
    ergy 	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 	device 	does 	cause 	harmful 	interference 	to 	radio 	or 	televi
    -
    sion	 reception,	 which	can	be	determined	 by	turning	 the	device	 off	and	 on,	the	
    user	 is	encouraged	 to	try	 to	correct	 the	interference	 by	one	 or	more	 of	the	 fol
    -
    lowing	measures:	
    •	Reorient	or	relocate	the	receiving	antenna.	
    •	Increase	the	separation	between	the	device	and	receiver.	
    •	Connect	 the	device	 into	an	outlet	 on	a	circuit	 different	 from	that	to	
    	
    which	the	receiver	is	connected.	
    •	Consult	the	dealer	or	an	experienced	radio/television	technician	for	
    	
    help.
    Notice: Shielded cables 
    All 	connections 	to 	other 	computing 	devices 	must 	be 	made 	using 	shielded	
    cables	to	maintain	compliance	with	FCC	regulations.	
    Caution 
    Changes	 or	modifications	 not	expressly	 approved	 by	the	 manufacturer	 could	
    void 	the 	user’s 	authority, 	which 	is 	granted 	by 	the 	Federal 	Communications	
    Commission,	to	operate	this	computer.
