About your Vicon camera packaging

 The box in which your new Vero camera arrived has a foam insert that holds
the camera. This insert prevents most damage that could be caused during
shipping. We recommend that you retain this box as it provides the most
convenient and safe way to ship your camera in future.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15 Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules (CFR 47:Part
15:B:2013). These limits 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 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.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to meet FCC emission limits. Vicon Motion Systems Ltd is not responsible for any
radio or television interference caused by using other than recommended cables and connectors or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
