Appendix B Communication Notices Communication Notices Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement: 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 his own expense. Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to meet FCC emission limits. Hewlett-Packard Company is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by using other than recommended cables and connectors or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement: This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Avis de conformité aux normes du ministère des Communications du Canada: Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada. European Union (EC) Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives: This product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EC Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot accept responsibility for any failure to satisfy the protection requirements resulting from a non-recommended modification of the product, including the fitting of non-Hewlett-Packard Company option cards. Dieses Gerät ist berechtigt in Übereinstimmung mit dem deutschen EMVG vom 9.Nov.92 das EG-Konformitätszeichen zu furhren. Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to reduce the potential for causing interference to radio and TV communication and to other electrical or electronic equipment. This product has been tested and found to comply with limits for Class A Information Technology Equipment according to CISPR 22/European Standard EN 55022. The limits for Class A equipment were derived for commercial and industrial environments to provide reasonable protection against interference with licensed communication equipment. 274

Communication Notices

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement:

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 his own expense.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order

to meet FCC emission limits. Hewlett-Packard Company is not responsible for

any radio or television interference caused by using other than recommended

cables and connectors or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this

equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement:

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian

Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Avis de conformité aux normes du ministère des Communications du

Canada:

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du

Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

European Union (EC) Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives:

This

product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EC Council

Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States

relating to electromagnetic compatibility. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot

accept responsibility for any failure to satisfy the protection requirements

resulting from a non-recommended modification of the product, including the

fitting of non-Hewlett-Packard Company option cards.

Dieses Gerät ist berechtigt in Übereinstimmung mit dem deutschen EMVG

vom 9.Nov.92 das EG-Konformitätszeichen zu furhren.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order

to reduce the potential for causing interference to radio and TV

communication and to other electrical or electronic equipment.

This product has been tested and found to comply with limits for Class A

Information Technology Equipment according to CISPR 22/European

Standard EN 55022. The limits for Class A equipment were derived for

commercial and industrial environments to provide reasonable protection

against interference with licensed communication equipment.
