3 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION NOTICE Class B Equipmet FCC ID: A09-LN14X-SI This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operatio is subject to the followig coditios: (1) this device may ot cause harmful iterferece, ad () this device must accept ay iterferece received, icludig iterferece that may cause udesired operatio. This equipmet has bee tested ad foud to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuat to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are desiged to provide reasoable protectio agaist harmful iterferece i a residetial istallatio. This equipmet geerates, uses, ad ca radiate radio frequecy eergy ad, if ot istalled ad used i accordace with the istructios, may cause harmful iterferece to radio commuicatios. However, there is o guaratee that iterferece will ot occur i a particular istallatio. If this equipmet does cause harmful iterferece to radio or televisio receptio, which ca be determied by turig the equipmet off ad o, the user is ecouraged to try to correct the iterferece by oe or more of the followig measures: Reoriet or relocate the receivig atea. Icrease the separatio betwee the equipmet ad receiver. Coect the equipmet ito a outlet o a circuit differet from that to which the receiver is coected. Cosult the dealer or a experieced radio or televisio techicia for help. This digital apparatus does ot exceed the Class B limits for radio oise emissios from digital apparatus as set out i the iterferece-causig equipmet stadard etitled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-00 of the Departmet of Commuicatios.

4 Cet appareil umérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils umériques de Classe B prescrites das la orme sur le matériel brouilleur : "Appareils Numériques", NMB-00 édictée par le miistre des Commuicatios. Modificatios The FCC requires the user to be otified that ay chages or modificatios made to this device that are ot expressly approved by Digital Equipmet Corporatio may void the user's authority to operate the equipmet.

5 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE A discharge of static electricity from a figer or other coductor may damage circuit boards or other static-sesitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectacy of the device. To prevet electrostatic damage, observe the followig precautios: Avoid had cotact by trasportig ad storig parts i static-safe cotaiers. Keep electrostatic-sesitive parts i their cotaiers util they arrive at static-free work statios. Place parts o a grouded surface before removig them from their cotaier. Avoid touchig pis, leads, or circuitry. Always be properly grouded whe touchig a staticsesitive compoet or assembly. GROUNDING METHODS Use oe or more of the followig groudig methods whe hadlig or istallig electrostatic-sesitive parts: Use a flexible wrist strap with a miimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percet resistace i the groud cord that is coected to a grouded workstatio or the priter chassis. To provide a proper groud, wear the strap sug agaist the ski. Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps o both feet at stadig workstatios. Stad o coductive floors or dissipatig floor mats. Use coductive field service tools. Use a portable field service kit with a foldig staticdissipatig work mat. If you do ot have the proper groudig equipmet, have a Authorized Service Provider istall the part. NOTE: For additioal iformatio o static electricity, or assistace with the istallatio of this product, cotact your Authorized Service Provider. 5

6 ITEMS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION Serial iterface optio Nomagetic Phillips screwdriver Serial iterface cable CABLE REQUIREMENTS You must attach a RS--C priter cable to the serial board i your priter ad to the serial port o the etwork or your host computer. CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic damage to the priter optio ad/or system cotroller board, follow the safety precautios outlied i "Electrostatic Discharge." Priter Serial Port Coector The serial iterface uses a stadard D-type 5-pi female coector. 6
