§ 15.105   Information to the user.

   (a) For a Class A digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished
   the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a
   prominent location in the text of the manual:

   Note: 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.

   (b) For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished
   the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a
   prominent location in the text of the manual:

   Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
   a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
   are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
   in  a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
   radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
   with  the  instructions,  may  cause  harmful  interference  to  radio
   communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
   occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
   interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
   turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
   the interference by one or more of the following measures:

   —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

   —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

   —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
   which the receiver is connected.

   —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

   (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section do not apply to
   digital devices exempted from the technical standards under the provisions
   of § 15.103.

   (d) For systems incorporating several digital devices, the statement shown
   in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section needs to be contained only in the
   instruction manual for the main control unit.

   (e) In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper,
   such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by
   this  section  may be included in the manual in that alternative form,
   provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to
   access information in that form.
