Regulations

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States of America

Concerning

and the Industry and Science Canada (ISC) have published regulations that govern

Electromagnetic

the allowable limits of emanation of radio frequency energy of computing devices

Radiation

and associated peripherals. These regulations are concerned with interference to

 

 

radio communications, such as radio and television. The regulations require

 

 

equipment for use in the United States or Canada to be labeled and to be

 

 

accompanied by the following notice:

 

 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

 

 

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

 

 

provide reasonable protection against interference when equipment is operated in a

 

 

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

 

 

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

 

 

manual, may cause interference to radio communications.

 

 

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 ISC.

 

 

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in

 

 

which case the user will be required to take adequate measures to correct the

 

 

interference.

 

 

This product was verified under test conditions that include use of shielded DTE

 

 

cable(s). Leased line cables with 1.5 turns through a ferrite cylinder were also used.

 

 

Use of different cables will invalidate verification and increase the risk of causing

 

 

interference to radio and TV reception.

 

 

You can obtain the proper cables from 3Com.

Correcting

 

If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be

Interference

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:

 

 

• Reorienting the receiving antenna

 

 

• Relocating the equipment with respect to the receiver

 

 

• Moving the equipment away from the receiver

 

 

• Plugging the equipment into a different outlet so that the equipment and

 

 

receiver are on different circuits

 

 

If necessary, you should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television

 

 

technician for additional circuits.
