with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of 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 which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

distance between the computer system unit and the display monitor by up to 130 meters (430 feet). It accomplishes this by means of a local transmitting unit (VE-120L), and remote receiving unit (VE-120R), connected by Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable. The VE-120 Video Extender System is ideal for factory and construction sites, or any installation where the display needs to reside in a harsh setting, but you want the system equipment kept in an environmentally friendly location. The Extender System is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the display in an area that is convenient for viewing. Other useful applications for the Video Extender system include: Financial: The remote display of stock market information. Education: The remote display of lectures and lessons to lecture halls and classrooms. Business: The remote display of addresses to overflow rooms; video conferencing; and demos. - 1 -
