Regulatory Notices

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include, but are not limited to, AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this system has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference may not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient the receiving antenna.

•Relocate the system with respect to the receiver.

•Move the system away from the receiver.

•Plug the system into a different outlet so that the system and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

For additional regulatory information, see the owner’s manual or user’s guide for your system.
