Regulatory Compliance Notices

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 (that is, personal computers). 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.
