Canada

Industry Canada (IC) Unintentional emitter per ICES-003

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference
regulations of Industry Canada.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B
prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par Industrie Canada.

Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03 (for products fitted with an
IC-compliant modem)

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’
satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside
wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request
the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Warning

To avoid electrical shock or equipment

malfunction do not attempt to make

electrical ground connections by yourself.

Contact the appropriate inspection

authority or an electrician, as

appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals
allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to
the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

Laser safety statement

All eMachines systems equipped with CD and DVD drives comply with the appropriate safety standards, including IEC 825. The laser devices
in these components are classified as “Class 1 Laser Products” under a US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard. Should the unit ever need servicing, contact an authorized service location.

Warning

Use of controls or adjustments or

performance of procedures other than

those specified in this manual may result

in hazardous radiation exposure. To

prevent exposure to laser beams, do not

try to open the enclosure of a CD or DVD

drive.

Television antenna connectors protection (for systems fitted with TV/cable TV tuner cards)

External television antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to your eMachines PC, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning protection

For added protection of any eMachines product during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,
unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
