FCC Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television reception is suspected.

Radio and Television Interference

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

mTurn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

mMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.

mMove the computer farther away from the television or radio.

mPlug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Important Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the FCC Certification and negate your authority to operate the product.

This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of Apple peripheral devices and Apple shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use Apple peripheral devices and shielded cables and connectors between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. You can obtain Apple peripheral devices and the proper shielded cables and connectors through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

Responsible party (contact for FCC matters only): Robert Steinfeld, Apple Computer, Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014-2084,408-974-2618.

G3 specifications

The Apple G3, introduced in 1997, marked a significant leap in Apple's computer technology and design philosophy. This series of Macintosh computers was powered by the PowerPC G3 processor, which had a clock speed ranging from 233 MHz to 750 MHz, depending on the model. The G3 chip was notable for its advanced features, including a 32 KB L1 cache and the ability to support a more complex 256 KB L2 cache. This allowed the machines to execute instructions more efficiently than their predecessors, enhancing overall performance for various computing tasks.

One of the defining characteristics of the Apple G3 line was its innovative design, which combined form and function. The desktop models featured a sleek, curving case, famously known as the "Blue and White" G3, while the all-in-one iMac G3 showcased vibrant colors and an iconic translucent design that became a hallmark of Apple devices.

The Apple G3 was notable for its extensive use of USB ports, which was a relatively new technology at the time. This foresight helped pave the way for the adoption of USB peripherals, allowing users to connect a wide range of devices, from printers to scanners, with ease. Additionally, the G3 series also provided options for expansion via PCI slots, giving users the flexibility to upgrade their systems.

In terms of graphics, the G3 models were equipped with accelerators like the ATI Rage or the NVIDIA Riva TNT, providing improved visual performance for both professional applications and gaming. This was complemented by Apple's decision to support higher screen resolutions and better color depth, enhancing the multimedia experience.

Moreover, the Apple G3 introduced the Mac OS 8 operating system, which brought improved multitasking capabilities and a more streamlined user interface. This allowed users to experience a more intuitive and productive computing environment.

Overall, the Apple G3 line represented a critical evolution in Macintosh technology. It combined powerful processing, innovative design, and new technologies that set the stage for future developments in the Apple ecosystem. The G3 series not only solidified Apple’s presence in the computing market but also laid the foundation for the modern computing experience that would follow in the ensuing years.
