The device is not classifiable under heading 8470 because it has no manual arrangements for data input nor has it a calculating function in the context of this heading (see HS Explanatory Notes to this heading).

It is not classifiable under heading 8471 , because it is not freely programmable in accordance with the requirements of the user (see Note 5(A)(a)(2) to Chapter 84), nor is it a unit of an automatic data-processing machine because it is not connectable to the central processing unit (see Note 5(B)(b) to Chapter 84).
