  • Hi Chris

    I've just unpacked my new Raspberry computer and quickly tested it using my TV.

    It seems just like the day when I plugged in my BBC computer many years ago. Sigh...

    Then my wife handed me a slip of paper (the only documentation supplied with the bits & pieces)

    It had escaped my notice. I read it and it carried compliance information.

    I must admit that I've never read this sort of thing before, but squinting hard to read the small print, I see that the Raspberry  computer is not designed to be used in a residential area, only in a commercial environment.

    For example, one of the statements declares that at my own expense I have to stop the thing from interfering with radios.

     

    In fact, I believe the slip of paper should be headed "Non-compliance Information" rather than "Compliance Information".

    If it's intended for use in a home environment then it is NOT compliant with the appropriate EMC requirements of the various countries in which it is sold.

    I wonder how many users have read and understood just what is said on the (back of the) slip of paper produced by Farnell?

    What do you think Chris?

    Is it just another source of problems for radio listeners?

    regards

    Allan
