FCC Compliance Statement
For United States Users
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 or television reception. 
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and 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.
WARNING
The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this 
equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification or Declaration of this device 
and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by the 
FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use 
a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has 
more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused 
interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For Canadian Users
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian 
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement 
sur le materiel brouilleur du Canada.
