FCC Compliance 

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 the user will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.
