safety

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and

Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide

an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,

including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended

function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place

computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B,

depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that

may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial

environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected

to be installed in a residential environment (personal computers, for

example). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label

indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional

operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment

falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class

A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class

of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,

if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment

in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case

the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for

a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
