Regulation Information
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. See instructions if interference to 
radio or television reception is suspected.
Radio and Television Interference
The equipment described in this manual 
generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency 
energy. If it is not installed and used properly—
that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s 
instructions—it may cause interference with 
radio and television reception. 
This equipment has been tested and found to 
comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
device in accordance with the specifications in 
Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are 
designed to provide reasonable protection 
against such interference in a residential 
installation. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. 
You can determine whether your computer 
system is causing interference by turning it off. 
If the interference stops, it was probably caused 
by the computer or one of the peripheral 
devices. 
If your computer system does cause 
interference to radio or television reception, try 
to correct the interference by using one or more 
of the following measures:
•Turn the television or radio antenna until the 
interference stops. 
•Move the computer to one side or the other 
of the television or radio. 
•Move the computer farther away from the 
television or radio. 
•Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a 
different circuit from the television or radio. 
(That is, make certain the computer and the 
television or radio are on circuits controlled by 
different circuit breakers or fuses.) 
Important:  
Changes or modifications to this 
product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., 
could void the FCC compliance and negate your 
authority to operate the product.
