USA Electromagnetic Interference Regulatory
Statement
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America. However, EXFO Inc.
makes reasonable efforts to ensure compliance to the applicable
standards.
The limits set by these standards 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 user documentation, 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.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Canada Electromagnetic Interference Regulatory
Statement
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.
Cet équipement génère, utilise et peut émettre de l'énergie
radio-fréquence et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé conformément à la
documentation de l'utilisateur, il peut occasionner une interférence néfaste
aux communications radio. L'utilisation de cet équipement dans une zone
résidentielle est susceptible d'occasionner une interférence néfaste.
Caution: This equipment is not intended for use in residential
environments and may not provide adequate protection to radio reception
in such environments.
Attention : Cet appareil n'est pas destiné à être utilisé dans des
environnements résidentiels et peut ne pas assurer la protection adéquate
à la réception radioélectrique dans ce type d'environnements.

Regulatory Information
This is a class A, group 1 product.
Ceci est un produit de classe A, groupe 1.
Class A equipment: Equipment that is, by virtue of its characteristics,
highly unlikely to be used in a residential environment, including a
home business shall be classified as class A and shall comply with the
class A limits specified in the applicable ICES standard. Characteristics
considered in this assessment include price, marketing and advertising
methodology, the degree to which the functional design inhibits
applications suitable to residential environments, or any combination
of features that would effectively preclude the use of such equipment
in a residential environment.
Classe A : Matériel qui, en raison de ses caractéristiques, ne sera fort
probablement pas utilisé dans un milieu domiciliaire ni par des
entreprises établies à domicile. Parmi les caractéristiques considérées
dans cette évaluation, il y a le prix, les méthodes de commercialisation
et de publicité, la mesure dans laquelle les fonctions de l'appareil font
qu'il ne se prête pas à des applications convenant au milieu
domiciliaire ou toute combinaison de ces caractéristiques qui aurait
pour conséquence d'en prévenir effectivement l'utilisation à domicile.
Utilisé également pour indiquer les limites d'émission correspondantes
qui s'appliquent à un tel matériel.
Class B equipment: Equipment that cannot be classified as Class A
shall comply with the Class B limits specified in the applicable ICES
standard.
Classe B : Matériel qui ne peut pas être inclus dans la classe A. Utilisé
également pour indiquer les limites d'émission correspondantes qui
s'appliquent à un tel matériel.
