NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A diigital device, persuant 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 equip- ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor- dance with the instruction manual, may cause 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.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
