§  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.
