Compliance information
Radio and TV interference
The SmartNode Series router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly- that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television reception. The SmartNode router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A comput- ing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to pro- vide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the SmartNode Series router does cause interfer- ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encour- aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
