FCC NOTICE: This equipment generates and uses radio frequency 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. It has been type tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the speciﬁcations in Part 15 of

FCC Rules, which 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. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following methods.

– Reorient the receiving antenna.

– Relocate the computer or peripheral with respect to the receiver.

– Move the computer or peripheral away from the receiver.

– Plug the computer or peripheral into a different outlet so that they are on different branch

circuits than the receiver.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for

additional suggestions. The user may ﬁnd the booklet How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV

Interference Problems, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful. This

booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Ofﬁce, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No.

004–000–00345–4.

To meet FCC requirements, a shielded parallel cable is required to connect the device to a

personal computer or other Class B device.

Cet équipement est conforme aux précisions de la norme CEE 82/499 sur la prévention et

l’élimination des perturbations radioélectriques.

Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique au Canada: Cet appareil numérique

respecte les limites de rayonnement de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils
