FCC Pt. 15 Section 15.101 has a table listing equipment authorization requirements for various devices. TV broadcast receivers require verification. Class B computers and peripherals, Declaration of Conformity. Since verification requires only that Part 15 tests be performed with data kept on file and DoC authorization requires the same testing with a Declaration of Conformity; I suspect that you will be required to perform a Pt. 15 Class B evaluation to the requirements of both TV broadcast receivers and Class B computers. A Declaration of Conformity will be required.
The web page for the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ has a FAQ section with the following info "The FCC Laboratory located in Columbia, MD, provides information packs that outlines the procedures for equipment approval. You should call 301/725-1585, ext. 639 and provide the company name, your name, address, telephone number and the type of equipment that requires approval." I suggest that you verify the appropriate authorization procedure directly with the FCC. If you poke around on the Web page, you will also find that you may download copies of the Part 2 and Part 15 rules.

This product accepts SVGA signals from a computer and functions as a computer monitor when used in that mode. It also contains a tv tuner and accepts antenna and cable tv input. In that case, it functions as a projection tv. This product is for business and well as home use. My question is: In regard to FCC rules, part 2 and 15, and the recent amendments, does this product qualify for the self-authorization "Declaration of Conformity" (DoC) procedure ? Can you site any supporting documents ? What papers/magazine articles should I look up ? Rebeca Chan
