47 CFR 2.806(c)(3), (4), and (5) addresses this issue.
(3) "Any digital device may be operated at the manufacturer's facilities during development, design or preproduction states for evalutaion or product performance and determination of customer acceptability." (4) extends (3) to include user's site. (5) clarifies (4) and (5) a little more. The not for sale or lease stickers and informing the user that the unit does not comply with the FCC rules as stated in 2.803 or 2.805 also keeps you out of trouble. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Morrow [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 12:22 PM > To: EMC Society > Subject: Beta units and the FCC > > What are the rules regarding a piece of equipment that is being beta > tested (not for sale, not being offered for sale) that does not currently > comply with Part 15B limits?
