SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND 
RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED 
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY 

FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS. 
 

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET 
FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED 
HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED 
WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR ASOKA REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY. 

 
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: 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 instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful 

interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own 
expense. 
 

Modifying the equipment without Asoka’s written authorization may result in the equipment no 
longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that event, your right to 
use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any 

interference or radio or television communications at your own expense. 
 

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the 

interference stops, it was probably caused by the Asoka equipment or one of its peripheral 
devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the 

interference by using one or more of the following measures: 
 

ƒ

 

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. 

ƒ

 

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio. 

ƒ

 

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio. 

ƒ

 

Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. 
(That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio is on circuits controlled by 

difference circuit breakers or fuses.) 

 
Modifications to this product not authorized by Asoka could void the FCC approval and negate 
your authority to operate the product. 

 
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WARRANTY HEREIN, ALL DOCUMENT FILES AND SOFTWARE OF 
THESE SUPPLIERS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH ALL FAULTS. ASOKA DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, 

EXPRESSED OR IMPLED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, 
USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE.
