FCC/DOC Radio Frequency Interference Compliance

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual,

may cause interference to radio and television reception. This equipment

has been tested and found to comply with the following regulatory agencies:

• The limits for a Class A computing device, in accordance with the

specifications in Part 15 of U.S. Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

– This device may not cause harmful interference.

– This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

• The limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in

the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of

Communications (DOC).

These regulations are designed to provide reasonable protection against

interference from the equipment to radio and television reception in

commercial areas.

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. However, the chances of interference are much less if the

equipment is used according to this instruction manual.

If the equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, one or more

of the following suggestions may reduce or eliminate the problem.

• Operate the equipment and the receiver on different branches of your

AC electrical system.

• Move the equipment away from the receiver with which it is

interfering.

• Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.

• Reorient the receiver's antenna.

• Be sure that the equipment is plugged into a grounded outlet and that

the grounding has not been defeated with a cheater plug.

Notice to user: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

National Instruments could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment under the FCC Rules.

If necessary, consult National Instruments or an experienced

radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The following

booklet prepared by the FCC may also be helpful: How to Identify and

Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from

the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock

Number 004-000-00345-4.
