Industry Canada (IC) Unintentional emitter per ICES-003

 

 

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference

 

regulations of Industry Canada.

 

 

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B

 

prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par Industrie Canada.

 

 

Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03 (for products fitted with an

 

IC-compliant modem)

 

 

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications

 

network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’

 

satisfaction.

 

 

Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

 

telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside

 

wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be

 

aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

 

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or

 

alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request

 

the user to disconnect the equipment.

 

 

Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal

 

metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Warning

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals

authority or an electrician, as appropriate.

Laser safety statement

All eMachines systems equipped with CD and DVD drives comply with the appropriate safety standards, including IEC 825. The laser devices in these components are classified as “Class 1 Laser Products” under a US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard. Should the unit ever need servicing, contact an authorized service location.

Warning

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure. To prevent exposure to laser beams, do not try to open the enclosure of a CD or DVD drive.

Television antenna connectors protection (for systems fitted with TV/cable TV tuner cards)

External television antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to your eMachines PC, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning protection

For added protection of any eMachines product during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
