Compliance and Conformity
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.
• The use of a non-shielded interface cable with the referenced device 
is prohibited.
CAUTION 
— The changes or modifications not expressly approved by 
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to 
operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC 
Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions; (1) this device may 
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, 
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
* The above warning is valid only in the United States of America.
Interface connectors
