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
