FCC第15部分 - Instruction Manuals for Consumer Class A & B类设备

According to FCC第15部分 guidelines, the instructional manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator must caution the user that any modifications made to the product and not expressly approved by the responsible party could void their authority to operate the equipment.

在大多数情况下, 制造商 of digital devices must include these instructions in their technical documentation in order to be compliant per FCC requirements. 然而, it is critical to ensure that the right instructions are included for the right product types.

A类vs. Class B EMC devices

FCC第15部分 guidelines outline two major types of digital devices: Class A and Class B. 一般来说, Class A devices are intended for industrial environments, while B类设备 are intended for residential use. Depending on its classification, the FCC requires specific language to be included in the instruction manual. 

Instructions for Class A devices

According to FCC第15部分, Class A devices must contain the following text (or something similar) in the manual:

Note: 本设备 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. 本设备 生成, 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.

Instructions for B类设备

In contrast, manuals for B类设备 must contain a version of the following:

Note: 本设备 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. 本设备 生成, 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. 然而, 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.
