WARNING! This device is not intended to be con- nected to the public telephone network in Europe.

1.2 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The NetLink-T1™ Model 2720 Series generates and uses radio fre- quency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The Model 2720 Series has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accor- dance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2720 Series causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
