Hi all,

I just installed a new PC for a client today (here in the US) and noticed
that there was a piece of paper with "declaration of conformity with FCC
rules for electromagnetic compatibility" included with the mouse and
keyboard. They aren't wireless. Either way, even if they were, here is the
part that I'm curious about.

It says at the bottom, that in order to "comply" with the aforementioned
declaration that the device must, according to part 15 of FCC rules:

1)this device may not cause harmful interference

and here's the freaky one,

2)this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undsired operation.

WTF!

Why would they insist that a device accept harmful/debilitating
interference?

Just curious,

Scott




Thanks for all the replys...I think I understand a little better now! I was
interpreting it the wrong way.
