FCC Class-B Warning

This computer generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If not installed and used properly, the computer may interfere with radio or television reception. The computer has been tested and certified to comply with the limits for a class-B digital device, as defined in part 15 of the FCC rules. Class-B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio/ television interference in a residence. To comply with FCC regulations, you must use shielded cables with this computer. Operation with unapproved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference with radio or television reception. Changes made to this computer without the approval of AST Research could void your authority to operate the computer. The computer may cause interference even though it meets class-B limits. (As a test, turn the computer off and on, and gauge the effect on an operating radio or television.) If there is interference, try to eliminate it by:

∙Reorienting or relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

∙Increasing the distance between the computer and receiver.

∙Connecting the computer to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

∙Consulting your authorized AST reseller or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
