Federal Communication Commision Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits set for a Class B digital device, as stated in Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and may radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions provided, this equipment may cause disruptive interference to nearby radio and television communications. Even if the equipment is installed according to the instructions, there is no guarantee of no interference in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause disruptive interference to nearby radio and television reception, switch the equipment off to determine if it is the true cause of the interference. If the equipment is the cause of the interference, the user should try to minimize the interference by taking one or more of the following courses of action: Note


Installation of the Finisher and/or the Token Ring Interface results in an FCC classification change to Class A.

Either re­orient or relocate the radio/television receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/television receiver. Connect the equipment to an AC outlet that is not on the same circuit as the radio/television receiver. If the previous solutions fail to bring results, you should consult either your equipment dealer or an experienced radio/television technician.





For more information on interference, refer to the Federal Communications Commission's booklet "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

ESD Precautions
Some semiconductor devices are easily damaged from static electricity. These components are Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs); examples include integrated circuits (ICs), Large-Scale Integrated circuits (LSIs), some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity: CAUTION: Be sure the power is Off to the chassis or circuit board, and observe all other safety precautions.



Immediately before handling any semiconductor components assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist strap device. (Be sure to remove the strap before applying power to the unit under test to avoid potential shock.) After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil or the static bag to prevent accumulation of an electrostatic charge. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective package until you are ready to install it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads that are electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device is to be installed. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motion such as your clothes brushing together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an ESD. Handle ICs and EPROMs carefully to avoid bending a pin. Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on a PCB.
