and

 

(2)

 

this

 

device

 

must

 

accept

 

any

 

interference

 

received,

 

including

 

interference

 

that

 

may

 

cause

 

undesired

 

operation.

 

This

 

equipment

 

has

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

energy

 

and,

 

if

 

not

 

installed

 

and

 

used

 

in

 

accordance

 

with

 

the

 

instruction

 

manual,

 

may

communications.

 

Operation

 

of

 

this

 

equipment

 

in

 

a

 

residential

 

area

 

is

 

likely

 

to

harmful

 

interference

 

in

 

which

 

case

 

the

 

user

 

will

 

be

 

required

 

to

 

correct

 

the

 

interference

 

at

 

their

 

own

 

expense.
